My involvement in wildlife conservation has taken me to some remarkable places and given me opportunities to experience how much beauty and diversity there is on this planet. It has also shown me how many threats there are to wild animals and their habitats. I decided to post pictures from some of my encounters hoping they may inspire others to learn more about this critical problem and take action to help protect the creatures that are at risk of disappearing forever. Information about the global decline of life can be found in a free e-book available at www.savelifenow.org.

None of the scenes in my photos were staged or manipulated. I don't spend much time editing what comes out of the camera, so please excuse the shortcomings in these images. For those of you who do take the time to view some of my photostream (it's best viewed by 'date uploaded'), my hope is you will focus on the qualities of the subjects rather than the quality of the pixels. Perhaps some of these photos will encourage you to get outside and take even better images that can inspire more people to help address the life crisis.
