Nature filmmaker and ecologist David Cebulla's documentary "The Last Common Hamsters" explores the crisis facing the common hamster, now teetering on the brink of extinction.

The film combines three years of fieldwork across central Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, and the Kazakh steppes — where the team captured the first-ever video record of a common hamster in its original habitat.

By using high-resolution satellite imagery from Sentinel-2 provided by EOX, Cebulla created stunning animated maps visualizing the decline of the common hamster over the past century, revealing a 75% reduction in its European range since the mid-20th century.

EOX provided free licenses for the imagery in support of its message of conservation, and the film is available free of charge on YouTube.

It stands as an example of how satellite data can support scientific storytelling for broad public audiences.
