Conservation Photography

Conservation photography is about creating iconic and thought provoking imagery, giving a voice to our fragile earth. Powerful imagery breaks through language barriers, creating awe and wonder, reinforced by a genuine understanding, that can inspire us to action and changed behavior.

At African Conservation Photography we aim to raise awareness and focus attention on the critical environmental issues challenging our society in today's modern era. We undertake photographic and media projects that strive to promote and encourage support for conservation, local NGO's and the general public interest.
