Founder, Wildlife Protection Map (WPM)
Documentary Filmmaker
Adlai Salcedo is a documentary filmmaker and the founder of Wildlife Protection Map (WPM), an initiative focused on raising awareness of overlooked endangered species through storytelling and impact-driven communication campaigns. His work sits at the intersection of wildlife, nature, and tourism, using film as a tool to inspire deeper connections between people and the natural world.
Born on Colombia’s Caribbean coast and raised in Canada, Adlai developed a lifelong connection to the outdoors, with a particular affinity for coastal ecosystems and marine life. This bicultural upbringing nurtured both his curiosity and his commitment to exploring how conservation can be more inclusive and locally grounded.
Through the stories he tells, Adlai aims to spark new conservation initiatives, partnerships, and grassroots movements that protect wildlife and restore ecosystems.
