About - Tanner Saul
I’m a conservation digital coordinator, wildlife biologist, and former wildlife television producer based in Montana, driven by a lifelong commitment to wild places.
My path started with a single image — a mountain lion on a backyard camera trap. That moment sparked something that never really let go. Since then, I’ve researched mountain lions and bobcats, worked with wolves in Montana, studied caracals in Africa, and even leapt from helicopters to capture wildlife for research and management. I’ve gone toe-to-toe with some of North America’s toughest ungulates — experiences that tested my limits and reshaped how I see the wild.
A 35-foot fall while studying bighorn sheep forced me to slow down and reconsider my purpose. Field research informs data. But storytelling shapes culture. And culture determines whether conservation succeeds.
Today, I work at the intersection of science, strategy, and advocacy. I translate complex wildlife and policy issues into campaigns, films, graphics, and digital content that build public support and drive action. I collaborate with scientists, policy experts, filmmakers, and conservation leaders to strengthen campaigns and help conservation efforts gain real momentum.
I bring field credibility, organizational leadership, and campaign strategy to every project. My work is rooted in lived experience — but built for modern platforms and real-world impact.
Because conservation isn’t just about protecting wild places.
It’s about compelling people to care enough to protect them.
It should be apparent to all that we need to work harder to unite ourselves in support of our common denominator; the people on whom we depend and the landscapes which support them.
For many, ecology must be tangible to be meaningful and the process of directing management with science must be transparent and inclusive. Finding common ground and using open discourse to address factual evidence.
