The decision was made during the production process to track the amount of carbon used during filming. We were able to use local production talent based in South Africa and brought in production teams from Kenya thereby avoiding having to fly a crew to Africa from the UK. On the completion of filming, all flights, transport, electricity, fuel and energy consumption across the whole of the shoot period was calculated using a recognized carbon calculator and a donation was then made to climatecare.com for double the estimated amount used. This was the first carbon neutral film for Discovery/Animal Planet UK.
