Therefore: Visit www.printsforwildlife.org today to check out the outstanding fine art prints, donated by some of the most incredible wildlife photographers out there! #printsforwildlife #africanparks #wildlifephotography
Let’s play that Reel game, shall we? Otherwise I Let’s play that Reel game, shall we? Otherwise I’m not sure I’ll ever share my photos on Instagram anymore, considering this platform has said goodbye to my beloved form of artistic and creative expression. While I love the slow speed of life, social media considers this to be old fashioned - catering to an attention span that I have yet to adhere to. Well, anyhow - these are a few of my favorite photos from a recent production for @tuscookany. I hope you can catch some while they flash by. #tuscookany #tuscany
Let us tell you a story about a magical place call Let us tell you a story about a magical place called Rwanda... In preparation of the 2022 edition of Prints for Wildlife, co-founders @pie_aerts and @marionpayr visited Akagera National Park and Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda. Both parks are managed by @africanparksnetwork - Akagera for more than 12 years and Nyungwe since 2020. Marion & Pie got to see the critical work of African Parks on the ground and learn about the impact @printsforwildlife helps to create. Here are some of the impressions they returned home with. Video by @laurentiussmit ♦︎ Prints for Wildlife is a photo print fundraiser for wildlife and communities, that runs from August 28 to September 25, 2022 - for the benefit of @africanparksnetwork. All prints are printed on @hahnemuehle_imaging Natural Line Hemp paper. #PrintsforWildlife #africanparks
More impressions from my favourite place in the So More impressions from my favourite place in the South of @akagera.park in #Rwanda 🇷🇼 This is Ruzizi Tented Camp - one of the two camps inside Akagera National Park that belong to non-profit @africanparksnetwork. Staying here directly benefits the wildlife conservation and community work that African Parks does, and well, you get to enjoy the stay a little as well along the way 😉 The camp is located directly at the shores of Lake Ihema, where you can hear hippos feed at night. Theres's only 9 tents which are connected by elevated wooden boardwalks and offer private en-suite bathrooms, lake-view terraces and a true safari feeling! Let's just say I'd go back in a heartbeat! ❤️ #akagera #akageranationalpark #printsforwildlife
💛 @printsforwildlife is back! 💛 I can't rea 💛 @printsforwildlife is back! 💛 I can't really believe it, but today we're finally launching the 3rd edition of our fundraiser "Prints for Wildlife"! 😍 We literally worked our butts off in the last few months to put together an incredible new collection of prints, that are on offer for just one month for the benefit of non-profit @africanparksnetwork. The values we share with African Parks go beyond simple wildlife conservation. Steering clear of old-school fortress conservation concepts, that exclude local communities, their community-based approach guarantees, that the protection of ecosystems benefits all parties involved. They work together with local communities in creating ecologically and economically sustainable models of conservation, that benefit all parties involved, animals as well as humans, soil as well as air and water - and doing so for generations to come. So if I have one wish it's that you consider purchasing one of the prints on offer at @printsforwildlife to support African Parks' incredible mission to grow to 30 parks by 2030. Because we need you now more than ever! 🙏🏼♥️ #printsforwildlife
Last chance to enter your photos for the #NikonFem Last chance to enter your photos for the #NikonFemaleFacets photo contest (Advertisement for @nikondach) ⏰ 🚨 The final days for this year's female photo contest have come! If you're a female identifying photographer (no matter if professional or hobbyist) make sure to upload your photos on the Nikon website before 31st of August 2022 to take part! 🏆 Prizes include not just a very generous amount of Nikon gear, but also spending a photography & workshop weekend together with the whole female mentoring team and all the 25 winners of the 5 categories. 😍 We can't wait to see all the entries (although we know from last year how difficult it is to then decide on the winning images)... it's an incredible privilege and honour to be a part of the mentoring and jury team again this year and we all take our role very seriously, but one thing is clear, we judge with much attention to details, emotions, storytelling and imagination - it's not just about technical skills! So don't be afraid to send in your photos and don't let insecurity about your work get in the way. Because if you don't take part, there's a 0% chance to win! ☺️
Meet the women of "Abakunda ibidukikije". 🧺 "A Meet the women of "Abakunda ibidukikije". 🧺 "Abakunda ibidukikije" means "environmental lovers" and that's the name of the local weaving cooperative at Ndego village, located at the outskirts of @akagera.park in Rwanda 🇷🇼 We were invited to meet the weavers together with the @africanparksnetwork community manager Nelly, who is the contact point for the cooperative. Through Nelly these community members get the chance to sell their artisanal products at gift shops in both visitor centers of Akagera National Park. This way they can sell their products at higher prices to tourists (don't worry, it's still incredibly affordable for us - especially if you take into account the amount of manual labour that goes into each of the products ☺️). Weaving cooperatives are of course just one means of community participation. There's so much more that African Parks does. It starts at including communities in the boards of each park, so they actively get to decide what happens with their land - all the way to offering fishing permits inside the National Park, the development of bee-keeping cooperatives, and setting up healthcare facilities and schools - it's all an integral part of their work. 🙏🏼 And this is how local communities directly benefit from the revenues, that the National Park generates. Additionally Rwanda's government has a tourism revenue sharing program, that also distributes profits to local communities, making sure that local people also have a vested interest in wildlife conservation and the protection of the eco systems, that are now off limites for agricultural production or other ways of land use. Image is part of our @printsforwildlife Rwanda trip and fundraiser for the benefit of @africanparksnetwork. #Printsforwildlife #africanparks #Rwanda #Akagera #AkageraNationalPark
Local impressions from Banda village in #Rwanda 🇷🇼 During our time in Nyungwe National Park we got the chance to visit a few of the local villages, that are located right at the borders of the park. Banda village is one of the special places, as it's the first village to get a new road connecting it to Nyungwe and now local people have easier access to job opportunities in tourism in the park. We met the local eco ranger unit as well as a huge group of local porters, all employed by African Parks, who now get to benefit from the economical activities in the National Park and so have a vested interested in it's protection and conservation.

Sunset in #Rwanda's iconic Akagera National Park 🇷🇼 After an eventful day meeting the recently reintroduced white rhinos and the @africanparksnetwork rangers who protect them 24 hours 7 days a week, we made our way up the rolling hills to our lodge. The sun had just set and coloured the sky in dozen tones of orange, so we asked our driver to stop to get out the vehicle for one last view of the plains below us. I still had my long tele lens (NIKKOR VR 200-500mm f/5.6) mounted, so I decided to opt for a shot of a detail of a tree in the distance. Still amazing that I can shoot this handheld - and even at 200mm focal length and just 1/125s shutter speed I get a sharp and clear photo. The magic of mirrorless (with six axis image stabilisation built in the body!).
