Born to be Wild 3D will inspire you! National Wildlife Federation has teamed up with the film to empower you to take action. Learn more about these amazing animals and find out how you can help protect them--and also help wildlife where you live.

1. Born to be Wild 3D is a story of the remarkable bond between humans and animals. It is about love,
dedication, and saving endangered species one life at a time. In the film, you’ll meet baby orangutans
and elephants who have lost their families. You’ll also meet the extraordinary people who rescue
these orphans. Dr. Biruté Mary Galdikas works with orangutans in the lush rainforests of Borneo.
Dame Daphne M. Sheldrick works with elephants on Kenya’s rugged savannah. Together, they and
their teams are raising these incredible animals and returning them to the wild.
