@printsforwildlife is back, and this year I’m donating this emblematic photo that I took in South Africa, 2 years ago. Did you know COVID-19 is still having a devastating impact on protected areas in Africa? The pandemic has brought the international tourism sector to a standstill, along with critical revenue for wildlife and communities. But there is an easy way to help! After last year’s incredible success more than 150+ globally renowned wildlife photographers and emerging talents are coming together yet again for the second edition of @printsforwildlife. Last year, more than 6,500 prints were sold - collecting over 660,000 dollars for the benefit of @africanparksnetwork. This year we are aiming to sell 10,000 prints - so together we can raise $1mio for conservation! We’re almost close to beat last year’s record and there are 9 days to go!! We need you to raise those $1M! 100% of the proceeds (after printing and handling) will be donated to @africanparksnetwork so that they can continue to protect wildlife and deliver benefits to local communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please show your support for wildlife and communities; purchase or gift a print; share this message, and join us in being part of the solution to securing Africa’s wild places. If you aren't able to buy a print yourself, please do share this message with your friends and family. The print fundraiser is open from 11th of July to 11th of August 2021. Available for a limited time, each print costs 100 USD and is printed on Hahnemuhle Natural Line Hemp fine-art paper, 30x45cm with a 1cm border, and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Thank you for joining us, helping to protect wildlife, supporting conservation and the people whose lives depend on it more than ever. Visit www.printsforwildlife.org or follow @printsforwildlife on Instagram to see how you can purchase a limited print, whether it’s this one or one from other incredibly talented photographers. PS: I’ve been told there are only a few prints left of this image, since it’s being printed at 100 pieces only, so don’t waste any time and secure your order now if you want it :) #printsforwildlife
