How conservation organisations can use immersive technology to educate, inspire, and reconnect people with nature, with our guest Camille Mougenot.
Have you ever wondered whether technologies like virtual reality, augmented reality, and immersive storytelling could help people care more deeply about wildlife and the natural world?
Today I'm joined by Camille Mougenot, Director of International Partnerships at Wild Immersion - an organisation designing immersive conservation experiences for zoos, aquariums, museums, science centres, and conservation organisations around the world.
Wild Immersion believes that technology shouldn't replace nature - it should help reconnect us with it. Through breathtaking 360° films, virtual reality, augmented reality, and interactive experiences, they're helping people encounter wildlife in entirely new ways, while strengthening conservation education and inspiring lasting behaviour change.
In this conversation, we explore how immersive technology is transforming conservation education, what makes an educational experience truly memorable, and how Wild Immersion designs projects from the first spark of an idea through to a finished visitor experience. We also discuss the importance of storytelling, emotion, and community in helping people connect with nature, before turning to Camille's own career journey and her advice for anyone interested in combining conservation, education, technology, and creativity.
It's a conservation education, immersive technology, and storytelling podcast.
Enjoy.
