A little closer to the wild.
A collection of windows into the places we share with wildlife.
Make room for a small moment.
Earthside helps you find nature cameras from zoos, aquariums and conservation projects. Discover somewhere new, keep a few favorites, or watch several places side by side.
We are an independent discovery project, not affiliated with the organizations listed here. All streams and provider previews belong to their respective owners. Visit the official camera pages to learn about their work and support them.
What you’re watching
The directory currently contains 50 official camera listings. 50 have public YouTube embeds reviewed for this prototype; the others open at their official source. The presence of a camera in the directory does not mean it is currently broadcasting.
- Live means the provider API confirmed a live broadcast within the last 30 minutes.
- Webcam means the player is available to try, with no recent live confirmation.
- At source means the official website is the viewing destination.
- Offline / Scheduled reflect recent provider information.
Some sources show recordings outside their live hours. Previews are provider images, not current frames. Animal sightings, uninterrupted playback and stream availability cannot be guaranteed.
Made possible by the people on the ground.
We do not download, rebroadcast, capture snapshots of, or remove branding from provider streams. Publicly enabled embedding is distinct from a commercial licence. Embedding permissions still under review remain official-site links.
Your browser, your favorites.
Favorites and your multi-view selection are stored in this browser’s local storage. There is no account and no account-level tracking. Clearing site data removes your saved choices.
Camera previews are requested from their providers. A YouTube player loads only when you choose “Load player”; YouTube then receives your request and handles playback under its Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Loading the map requests tiles from OpenStreetMap. Weather requests use the camera’s location, never your personal location.
