Planet Rewild<\/a>  This immersive 360\u00b0 footage was captured by Elaine during her Connected Landscapes field expedition. The project combines art, ecology, and technology to connect people with nature and deepen understanding of ecological connectivity, showing how species move across dynamic habitats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planet Rewild traces the movement of wildlife and water through Botswana\u2019s iconic Okavango Delta<\/a> \u2013 a landscape shaped by ancient rhythms and urgent conservation needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
