The Eoscene story
About me.
My name is Jonas Stenstrom and I run Eoscene Productions, what used to go under the name Untamed Science Europe and is still part of the Untamed Science team. The mission though has always remained the same, to be a science and nature platform dedicated to document, inspire, educate and protect. The company is based in Sweden but collaborate with organisations around the world with the core mission to make the natural world become second nature to everyone.
My interest in nature and science started already at a young age and I have always loved the outdoors and all that it includes. I have a Masters Degree in marine biology from Gothenburg University (Sweden) and a Bachelor of Science from James Cook University in Australia. I always say that you can’t protect what you don’ know about, so therefore I have dedicated my life to documenting and communicating stories from the natural world in an effort to bridge the gap between the public and the scientists working to expand our knowledge of the processes shaping our planet. I am now also part of the UPROAR team as a Lens in the Wild. Check out the UPROAR website for more information and a way to support important conservation efforts. Share the knowledge, reconnect with nature, protect wild places.

Even if I am the one behind the steering wheel at Eoscence Productions, what you find here is absolutely a collaborative effort. Eoscence Productions used to be Untamed Science Europe and is still part of the Untamed Science umbrella and also works closely with the new initiative Stone Age Man run by my colleague Rob Nelson. The Untamed Science office works as a US base for our productions.
Almost every documentary project is of course a team effort together with various scientific organisations, conservation groups, and pretty much anyone who is wanting to communicate a better understanding of the natural world.
So why “Eoscene”?
This history lesson starts way back. In fact about 56 million years ago. The Eocene (yes, without the “S”) was the second epoch in the Paleogene period and lasted between 56 to 34 million years ago. Now what makes this time so special you ask? Well, you may have heard that the dinosaurs disappeared about 65 million years ago as a result of a giant meteorite that crashed into Mexico’s Yucatán peninsula. This was the last of five major extinction events that Earth has experienced, and with the dinosaurs out of the picture, the age of mammals could begin. It was during the Eocene epoch that most of today’s mammals evolved and much of Earth’s biological scene as we know it today was established.
