My project Endangered gave me the opportunity to witness many species around the world on the brink of extinction, and to meet the extraordinary people working tirelessly to protect them. These experiences reinforced my belief that conservation is ultimately about relationships, between species, habitats, and the people committed to safeguarding them.
Earth Month offers an important moment to reflect on our connection to the natural world. My work is driven by the belief that photography can help bridge the distance between ourselves and other species, encouraging empathy by making the natural world feel more personal and relatable.
If we can recognise something of ourselves in another species, perhaps it becomes easier to care not only about their future, but also about the protection of the habitats we all depend on. It has never been more important to connect people with nature; our future depends on it.
