Mario Benassi and Wildside Productions, Ltd. are offering a variety of media and services to encourage environmental awareness. By way of slide shows, live animal presentaions, and videos, we hope to promote conservation through education.

Animal Presentations
A live animal show, including birds of prey and venomous snakes, is followed by a question and answer session for plenty of interactive learning. You can see the wonder and excitement in the student's eyes when put in close range to these strange and exotic creatures. It's a hands-on experience they cannot get at a zoo.

Field Trips
Ecology field trips can be scheduled to each of Colorado's five major ecosystems. This all-day outing consists of nature hikes, wildlife tracking and observations. Specific dens and nests are located and studied.

Videos
Our video, "Colorado's Wildside", takes the viewer on tour through the five major ecozones of Colorado. In this 45-minute video, each vital plant and animal community, and its corresponding climate and topography, are highlighted. we also have an extensive video library of environmental programs produced by Wildside Productions, Ltd. for such networks as the National Geographic Channel and Animal Planet.

16mm Film Rental
Wildside Productions, Ltd. has a wide variety of 16mm films available for rent to show in your classroom. Please view our list of titles and contact us with any questions or to reserve a film.

Slide Shows
We offer three different slide shows:

Colorado's Eco-zones: A comprehensive guide to Colorado's five major ecosystems. It emphasizes the concept of natural communities.

Land of the Maya: Takes the viewer on tour through the lowland rainforest of Central America and the awesome Mayan temples of Tikal.

Life on the Edge: is about the mountain gorillas of the Virunga Mountain Range in Rwanda. This slide show looks at the human existence relative to the gorilla in their natural environment.

We work closely with instructors to be sure that we are effectively reaching their students. We also tailor our presentations to fit any age group or particular area of study. Mario presents each slide show and animal presentation in a fun-filled, high energy, hour-long format. These presentations allow students to see plants and animals in their various ecological settings, drawing them to an understanding of the importance of wildlife, as well as habitat conservation.

These programs will make a perfect addition to your Earth Day celebration, or as a supplement to any science or ecology class!
