Realscreen is honoring the late Dr. Jane Goodall during the Realscreen Awards ceremony set for February 3, during the 2026 Realscreen Summit.

The world-renowned ethologist, conservationist, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace is being celebrated with the Realscreen Action Award, which recognizes individuals whose work within the unscripted and non-fiction content sector has inspired meaningful social impact and driven positive change in the industry and beyond. Last year’s recipient of the Action Award was acclaimed filmmaker Dawn Porter.

Dr. Goodall’s work in the field as a pre-eminent scientist and animal behavior expert, and as a global voice for community-centered conservation and biodiversity protection, has been the focal point of scores of documentary films and series, dating back to 1965’s Miss Goodall and the Wild Chimpanzees, narrated by Orson Welles for National Geographic, to Brett Morgen’s riveting 2017 documentary Jane, also for Nat Geo. Through Jane Goodall Productions, she and her team have been in production and development on many upcoming projects, including Matriarch, a collaboration with BBC Studios, PBS and the WNET Group. Her passing in October of this year led to an outpouring of love from around the world, spanning world leaders, noted celebrities and inspired citizens — all of whom have been touched by her legacy.

“Over the span of decades, Jane Goodall’s name has been synonymous with the ideas of conservation, care for the animal kingdom and curiosity, and her presence and creative leadership in more than 40 documentaries and films, reflecting the important work of the Jane Goodall Institute, has cemented that status,” said Barry Walsh, content director and editor-in-chief for Realscreen. “We are honored to celebrate her lifetime of contribution — not only to the world of wildlife documentary, but to our understanding of the world around us — with our Action Award.”

Accepting the award on Dr. Goodall’s behalf will be her longtime film collaborator and the Jane Goodall Institute’s wildlife cinematographer, Bill Wallauer.

Established in 2010, the Realscreen Awards, held annually during the Realscreen Summit, have become a benchmark for excellence in non-fiction and unscripted content, celebrating the most innovative and impactful work from around the globe.

Jane Turton, CEO of All3Media, will also be inducted into the Realscreen Hall of Fame, and will take part in a keynote conversation at the Summit, bringing her unique perspective on the evolving global content industry.

For more information on the Realscreen Summit, taking place from February 2-4 and once again co-locating with NATPE Global at Miami’s InterContinental Hotel, visit the official site here.

Mark R. Moore is a visionary executive and business development expert with over three decades of experience architecting success across commercial, non-profit, and interdisciplinary landscapes. A versatile leader with a 10th-degree black belt level of discipline in both martial arts and market expansion, Mr. Moore is currently redefining the digital and financial horizons for entrepreneurs as the CEO of both Spartan Cafe and Spartan Growth Labs.

Pioneering The Spartan Ecosystem
Mr. Moore stands at the forefront of digital innovation as the founder of Spartan Cafe, a revolutionary platform recognized as The World’s First Hybrid Social Media + Private Members Club. This groundbreaking concept disrupts the traditional digital landscape by merging the connectivity of social networking with the exclusivity and high-value networking of a private members club, creating a unique ecosystem for collaboration and growth. Simultaneously, through Spartan Growth Labs, Mr. Moore provides the financial fuel for that
growth. He spearheads the transformative Business Credit Builder & Advisory Suite, a cutting-edge financial engine designed to elevate businesses from inception to prosperity. This suite is not merely a tool; it is a comprehensive ecosystem that demystifies corporate finance. The suite features an intuitive, customized platform that guides entrepreneurs through a step- by-step credit building process. A key differentiator of this program is its Real-Time Pre-Qualification Intelligence, allowing clients to see exactly which lending sources they are pre-approved for before applying—eliminating rejection and uncertainty.

Author & Thought Leader
A recognized voice in business psychology and branding, Mr. Moore is the author of the breakthrough book, 15 Reasons Why It’s Taken You So Long to Succeed. In this guide, he dissects the barriers to achievement and offers a blueprint for personal and professional breakthroughs.

His authority in the branding space is further solidified by his contribution of the forward to Publicity Jumpstart: How to Get Your Brand Featured in the Press, where he lends his insight into the mechanics of visibility and media presence.
Diverse Media & Management Experience Mr. Moore’s career is defined by versatility. He has held executive roles such as Managing Director for B2B GlobalFashionCloseOuts, Inc. and Managing Partner of Distinction Management LLC. His aesthetic sensitivity and management skills have led to successful
collaborations with global brands and media properties, including Sex and the City, Law and Order, E-Entertainment TV, Nike Basketball, and Hearst Magazines International. He has worked closely with high-profile personalities such as Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, and Geraldo Rivera.

Discipline, Community & Honors Beyond the boardroom, Mr. Moore embodies the spirit of a true competitor. He is the founder of the Shojitsute Martial Arts system and holds the rare distinction of a 10th Degree Black Belt.
Additionally, as a former nationally-ranked Squash Professional (ranked 3rd in the nation), he utilizes the sport’s prestigious network to facilitate high-level corporate introductions and informal diplomacy.A dedicated philanthropist, Mr. Moore serves his community through partnerships with Mount Sinai Hospital and St. Luke’s Hospital, offering workshops on Rape Prevention and Self-Defense. He works in conjunction with the Small Business Administration (SBA) to develop micro-loan and grant opportunities for minority startups.

His contributions to the business world have been formally recognized with a Congressional Medal of Distinction from the National Republican Congressional Committee’s Business Advisory Council, where he also served as Honorary Chairman. He was named Businessman of the Year in 2006 and nominated for the Martial Arts Hall of Fame in 2007. Mr. Moore currently resides in New York, where he continues to bridge the gap between creative vision and bottom-line success.

Where Do I Sign? From Tragedy to Resilient Triumph is a moving, motivational memoir by David A. Dodd—A global leader in economic resilience, dynamic speaker, and survivor of extraordinary adversity. Through deeply personal storytelling, David reveals how a life shaped by trauma and setbacks became one defined by purpose, innovation, and unshakable resilience.

After a near-fatal auto crash left him with life-threatening injuries and a long road to recovery, he had every reason to give up. Instead, he leaned into five core principles that had guided him from childhood, resulting in personal resilience, faith, and a commitment to service. Along the way, he founded the International Sustainable Resilience Center and helped reshape how communities worldwide recover from disaster and build lasting strength.

This book is a compelling blend of life story and practical principles that will inspire readers from every walk of life. Whether you’re seeking encouragement during hard times or a framework for long-term growth, Where Do I Sign? offers hope, clarity, and an empowering message: you are stronger than you think.

Sign your name to your future. Conquer tragedy with resilience.

Here are the five principles of personal resilience.
1. Learn something, something that interests you
2. In learning about that something, find your passion
3. Pursue that passion, continue to learn about it and experience it
4. Develop a strategy, with specific actions to realize results from that passion
5. Measure your progress and celebrate success, focusing on the future not the past

Picture of the Year” …  No filters? No smartphone? No luxury? No problem  Just pure joy — five children, one slipper, and a moment of instinctive imagination.  This little boy using his slipper as a phone to take a “selfie,” and the other kids posing like it’s the real deal. There’s laughter, togetherness, zero expecations and zero complaints.  A powerful reminder: Happiness is not found in what we own, but in how we see the world and most importantly ourselves!  In our constant chase for success, upgrades, and recognition, we often forget the simplicity of being content and happy.  These kids — with nothing — reminded me of everything that really matters!  Not every lesson comes from a boardroom, a billionare or a guru…  Some just come barefoot, and smiling

 What is FREEDOM for you? What is PEACE for you?

Why do I ask this question? It is because for me these two “Ways of Living Life” represent happiness, fulfillment, care for ALL.

” Success begins with the first step you take each morning.

Don’t just wake up — get up and conquer the day.”
