Magical work and dedication by Gary (and many others) in producing this phenomenal body of work. This is obviously not a portfolio that directly addresses climate change but if the habitats for these creatures are lost then the decline will be rapid and complete. This features in my mind to highlight that we have “something worth protecting”, a planet full of diversity and wonder. We have become increasingly responsible for many things as a result of our actions, be they direct or indirect. And for me, the project also emphasises the amazing things that can be achieved when people put their minds to it. That does not mean to say it is easy or things will be handed to you on a plate. But through dedication and individual action greatness can be achieved.


In his own words

"I have been lucky enough to travel extensively across East Africa, over the last twenty five years, in my work as a photojournalist covering a range of wildlife and conservation stories. It has been a privilege to meet many hardworking and determined individuals who have dedicated their lives to help protect and preserve this important ecosystem and the wildlife it contains. In a discussion with one such individual, Constantine Coucoulis, founding Chairman of Saving Africa’s Nature (SANA), I was given " a job to do ". To communicate to others with my photographs and the words of those that work so tirelessly in the field about the desperate plight of the wildlife and the habitat they live in.”
