But this isn't just a lot of pretty pictures of pretty critturs. Masters, like all truly committed nature documentarians, has a point to make: that these environments are fragile. The opening has more of Ken Burns than David Attenborough about it, a stark warning from history that Texas's track record on protecting its wildlife has been less than stellar, with a few extinctions along the way. The warm timbre in Matthew McConaughey's voice as he talks about the plains and Black Prairie develops a sadder edge when talking about the two real calls to action: water preservation and the hideous treatment of the Mountain Lion population, in which Texas lags behind just about every other state. The consequences of traps and snares left in the wild to mangle and mutilate any animal unfortunate enough to be caught in them is shown in one especially tragic sequence. Deep in the Heart will captivate you, but it will also break your heart, and such moments may make you recoil from the odd mentions of "conservation-minded hunters."

I often post about the loss of forests and wetlands to development and how that affects flooding. But the loss also affects wildlife. A new movie, Deep in the Heart: A Texas Wildlife Story, follows our ever-changing relationship with the natural world. It showcases our ability to destroy, conserve, and recover wildlife and habitat. The producers tell the story through the eyes of wildlife.

Told through the eyes of wildlife species ranging from the mysterious blind catfish to the elusive mountain lion, the story follows our ever-changing relationship with the natural world and showcases our ability to destroy, conserve, and recover wildlife and the habitat we mutually depend on.

"The film is told through the eyes of wildlife species ranging from the mysterious blind catfish to the elusive mountain lion, the story follows the ever-changing relationship with the natural world and the ability to destroy, conserve and recover wildlife and the habitat it mutually depends on," a portion of the 'Deep in the Heart' film website reads.

The movie celebrates what makes Texas different, its diverse landscapes and wildlife. But it also takes an unusual tack. It tells the story through the eyes of wildlife, from ocelots to bison to fish and bears.

It's still in crisis. More than 1,600 species, about one-third of all wildlife, face an elevated risk of extinction. [Read the GreenSourceDFW story about the Recovering America's Wildlife Act moving through Congress currently and ways you can help.]

Deep in the Heart is a visually stunning celebration of what makes Texas unique - its diverse landscapes and remarkable wildlife behavior that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Told through the eyes of wildlife species ranging from the mysterious blind catfish to the elusive mountain lion, the story follows our ever-changing relationship with the natural world and showcases our ability to destroy, conserve, and recover wildlife and the habitat we mutually depend on.

Narrated by Matthew McConaughey and featuring state-of-the-art cinematography, this family-friendly film journeys from the highest peaks in West Texas, through our aquifers, rivers, and bays, and deep into the Gulf of Mexico. Deep in the Heart aims to conserve our remaining wild places, show the connectivity of water and wildlife, and recognize Texas' conservation importance on a continental scale. 781b155fdc
