Last year at this time I attended the 8th World Wilderness Congress up in Anchorage, Alaska. I had many of my photographers attending as part of a new group of conservation photographers being organized. From this meeting the ILCP was formed: The International League of Conservation Photographers, developed under the capable leadership of Christina Mittemeier.

As many of you know, I’ve made a concerted effort to bring worldwide nature photographers as well as travel and cultural specialists to my team of professionals. I feel it’s important to have material on my site documenting the many faces of our changing world--including ecosystems and habitats and the flora, fauna and indigenous cultures that live within these habitats.

This is extremely important for my educational and editorial clients striving to illustrate the many changes going on around our planet. These photographers are out there photographing the many seasons of change, both good and bad. Without their important work, publishers would have nothing to show our next generation about the importance of conservation and preservation of our natural world.

"Understanding the complexity of nature is vital for our own survival on this planet. Photography is a universal language that can help us explain the importance of conserving the miraculous diversity of life to every citizen on Earth."

Cristina Mittermeier, Executive Director
