This is The Fable Fund.

A home for stories of the wild and the people protecting it.

Through films, partnerships, and community-led conservation, we’re helping protect the species we share this planet with while inspiring action for the natural world.

Our goal is to raise $100 million by 2030 to support conservation projects and the communities on the frontlines of protecting wildlife.

Because the future of the wild is still a story we can rewrite.

And we’re just getting started.

In the forests of Tadoba, communities live alongside some of India’s iconic tigers🐅🫶🏽

We explored how simple innovations such as water-heaters can help families thrive while reducing human–wildlife conflict. Having the amazing opportunity to document our trip and showcase the power of co-existence was a true privilege.

The Star of the Show 🌟

Meet the elusive shoebill… from their prehistoric stare to that legendary bill, shoebills are unlike anything else on Earth.

On Endangered Species Day, we are shining a light on one of the world’s rarest and most vulnerable birds.

In our new film In Search of the Shoebills, we follow this extraordinary species through the wetlands it calls home, uncovering the facts that make it truly unforgettable.

In Search of the Shoebill 🇺🇬🌿

In this @fablefund film, @mehta_a travels with wildlife presenter @kylethomas deep into Uganda’s Mabamba Swamp, one of the last strongholds of the elusive Shoebill.

Gliding through narrow wetland channels, they set out in search of a bird that feels almost prehistoric…a true living dinosaur.

A story about protection, persistence, and the fragile magic of a species on the edge.

pov: releasing rescued hedgehogs 🦔🌿

As Hedgehog Awareness Week draws to a close, come with us as we release rescued hedgehogs back into the wild.

Thanks to the dedicated work at Pumpkin’s Wildlife Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre, these once‑injured hedgehogs are finally heading back where they belong.

We couldn’t imagine a better way to end the week than watching these little survivors shuffle back into the world.

A huge thank you to Dr Hedgehog for helping us guide their journey home 🧡🦔🌿

Just a little something I wanted to share 🤍

With so many new faces here (and so many OGs still around), I’ve been reflecting a lot lately.

The truth is, I’m still figuring it all out. Balancing being a CEO of @fableandmane while building @fablefund, and finding where my heart truly belongs. But with every month, things feel a little clearer.

And honestly… I’ve never felt more grateful, more grounded, or more myself than I do right now.

So with a huge smile, thank you for being part of the journey with me! 🌍
