Directory of Nature-Focused Livestreams on YouTube

Welcome to our nature-focused livestream directory, a digital gateway designed to bring you the restorative power of the natural world. Viewing nature-focused livestreams can be a powerful tool for well-being, offering measurable benefits such as reduced stress, enhanced mood, and a profound sense of connection to both nature and others. We invite you to explore, escape, and learn, and we hope these windows into the wild offer you a moment of fascination or calm in your day.

This directory features YouTube livestreams identified between October 2025 and March 2026. We have worked to capture the most engaging and enduring broadcasts, please note that the digital landscape is fluid. Links may occasionally change or experience downtime, and descriptions are provided as a helpful guide rather than a definitive record. Contributors to this directory include: Rebecca L.Mauldin, Rajvi Kapadia, Rushikesh Palnitkar, Ramsha Shaikh, Akshay Thakare, Vismaya Prakasan, Abhishek Basnet, Jeffrey C. Skibins, and Keith Anderson. Special thanks to the Social Networks for Social Good Laboratory at The University of Texas at Arlington’s School of Social Work.

Using the Directory

You can interact with the table to find livestreams of interest. Click any column header to sort the table (click again to reverse the order). Use the Search box above the table to filter results—type a word such as bird, reef, forest, or Alaska to display only rows containing that term. Clear the search box at any time to return to the full directory. You can also change the number of rows you’d like to display at one time. 

Tip: There are five main categories shown in the first column: Animals in the wild; Animals in captivity; Birdfeeder/feeding station; Scenery — mixed; and Scenery — pure. Using these categories in the search feature is a good way to screen the list by the type of livestream you’d like to view.
