On 19 May 2025 The Guardian reported: More and more people are hooked on watching animals in real time. Now researchers say it could even improve your mood, help you relax, and give you better sleep. Nature-focused live streams, set up near nests, water holes, dens, or landscapes to provide a live, constant feed of the natural world, have proliferated over the past two decades, helped by cheap cameras and remote internet connections. The drama of nature -- or sometimes the lack of it -- is what draws people in. Global Good News service views this news as a sign of rising positivity in the fields of science and health, documenting the growth of life-supporting, evolutionary trends.

The seventh season of the TV series The Great Moose Migration from the Swedish broadcaster SVT involved 20 days of continuous live footage, drawing in millions of viewers. Norway's NRK has aired 18 hours of salmon swimming upstream and 12 hours of firewood burning. A viral fish doorbell allows viewers to watch migrating fish in a lock in Utrecht.

...A new study awaiting publication shows that playing nature-focused live streams increased the wellbeing of some of the older residents in a care home, improving their mood, levels of relaxation, and sleep.

...There are hundreds of webcams across 35 of the US's national parks. The Giant Panda Cam captures activities of animals at Smithsonian National Zoo, and Africam looks at wildlife using cameras across Africa. In the UK, the Wildlife Trusts have 25 live webcams.

In more remote locations, webcams provide an alternative for people who are unable to visit in person. In Skomer Island off the Welsh coast, the island's 42,000 puffins are captured on a live stream that had 120,000 views in 2024.

They are also a way of learning more about animal behaviour.
