Photographic Environmental Efforts

This summer I was flipping through a Patagonia catalog, and I stopped on a spread that drew my attention. Below the beautiful photo of a waterfall was a paragraph about a group of photographers - the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP) - who shed light on biodiversity through their photographs in an effort to implement better conservation in places where biodiversity is endangered.

Here is what iLCP says:

As a project-driven organization, our mission is to translate conservation science into compelling visual messages targeted to specific audiences. We work with leading scientists, policy makers, government leaders and conservation groups to produce the highest-quality documentary images of both the beauty and wonder of the natural world and the challenges facing it.

In their recent RAVE (rapid assessment visual expedition) to the Great Bare Rainforest in British Columbia, photographers and videographers captured stunning images in order to shed light on this pristine landscape in danger of becoming a thoroughfare for crude oil.

Here are a few of the images they brought back:

This is what I have a passion for... protecting our natural habitat, the only earth we're going to get and which we must share to continue to survive!
