WCSFP 2022: Lifetime Achievement Award

Awards & Nominations · December 2022

At the 2022 World Congress of Science and Factual Producers in Glasgow, Walter Köhler, CEO and founder of Terra Mater Studios, received the Lifetime Achievement Award in Factual Content.

Conference director Paul Lewis introduced the winner by saying, “He’s dedicated to communicating some of the toughest conservation stories and bringing them to audiences around the world. He’s a risk-taker. If he believes in a project, he’ll pull out all the stops to make it happen.”

We at Terra Mater Studios can only agree with his words, and thank Walter for motivating us to continue doing our best to drive change.

“I really want to thank my team. We always have an amazing time working together, trying to make a difference for the planet. But our work is not done. Many people feel disconnected from nature and don’t feel part of it. That’s why our industry must do better. We need to change the narrative and make everyone aware that our planet is not eternal and that every person can drive change.” – Walter Köhler
