The Smallworlds Expedition takes an intimate look at the colourful and heart-stirring world of the people who trek through rugged terrain, battle with behind the scenes lobbying, and take to the streets and media in efforts to protect their awe-inspiring lands.

The Expedition joins the lives of six outstanding conservation groups chosen from the Smallworlds Network to represent each major continent and display contrasting biomes, diverse ecosystems and approaches to conservation.

It dives in to unearth the way these conservation groups are formed and how they work. How do they endure? What is it that makes them efficient and what are the similarities and differences between them? How do location, culture, local policies and contrasting eco regions affect the tactics used in their campaigns? The Expedition also asks; Who are the people preserving the land, what is their background, and what drives them to work for the benefit of us all?

The explorer, Smallworlds Founder Amanda Gomm, takes a full participatory role to bring these groups into a real life context for the many who do not know of their existence and their fundamental work. She joins their efforts through active participation in community outreach, field work, meetings and observes their lobbying efforts; documenting both her experiences and the threatened landscapes. With the help of an interactive web cam, kids, youth, parents, individuals and teachers can all connect directly with the six chosen organizations, as well as Amanda. They are invited to create and enjoy a personal experience with the local people online, bringing those who are fighting for the earth's survival straight into their living rooms or classrooms.

The Expedition hopes to serve as both an educational and inspirational medium to its audience. It wishes to show the strength of the grassroots by sharing its experiences in magazine articles, documentaries, and lectures for both a targeted and a general audience. It hopes to give conservation work a cultural face and help aspiring conservationists shape their dreams.
