A black rhino rests under a rainbow at Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. In 2024, 21 black rhinos were moved to their new home at Loisaba Conservancy in Laikipia, Kenya. Kenyaís black rhino population was poached almost to extinction and went from a low of 290 animals to 1004 today. They are expanding their habitat and it is a testament to Kenyaís conservation efforts. Ami Vitaleís career stands as a testament to her deep dedication to documenting and addressing global crises. As an acclaimed National Geographic photographer, writer, and documentary filmmaker, as well as the founder of Vital Impacts, Ami has consistently spotlighted critical issues affecting our world. Her journey began in conflict zones, where she observed firsthand how environmental degradationófrom resource scarcity to climate changeóintensifies human suffering and conflict.

拉拉与克里斯蒂·奥多姆的相机四目相对。这只美洲豹锐利的眼神丝毫没有透露它悲惨的故事。拉拉在玻利维亚亚马逊地区经历了非法野生动物贩运的幸存，现在与其他获救的大型猫科动物一起生活在一个庇护所。奥多姆作为一名电影制作人和摄影师，前往偏远地区记录我们星球的生物多样性以及拉拉这样濒危生物所面临的威胁。

拉拉（见下图）的照片来自Vital Impacts，这是一个专注于通过视觉记者讲故事来支持保护工作的非营利组织。在其当前的倡议中，Vital Impacts正在出售100幅来自知名摄影师的令人惊叹的作品，以支持COICA（亚马逊原住民团体联盟）的土著社区。

This is Lala, a victim of illegal wildlife trafficking from the heart of the Bolivian Amazon. Lala's story is a heartbreaking reminder of the immense pressures facing the Amazon's wildlife. Struggling from the destruction of their natural habitats and the relentless demand of the illegal wildlife trade, animals like Lala are increasingly at risk. The Amazon, a vast and biodiverse ecosystem, is home to countless species, but their survival is threatened by human exploitation and environmental degradation. Lala has been rescued and now lives in a sanctuary that is helping her and other jaguars thrive. Lala's story highlights the urgent need for greater awareness and action to protect these vulnerable creatures and their fragile homes. Photographer and Filmmaker, Kristi Odom, has worked in some of the earth's most remote locations to help document stories that will help protect our planet's biodiversity. She is an internationally awarded photographer, an associate fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers, a Nikon Ambassador and a motivational speaker. She believes strongly in the power of photography to help create positive change and ultimately help protect the planet's wildlife. Follow Kristi on Instagram @kristiodom. — 这是拉拉，来自玻利维亚亚马逊心脏地带的非法野生动物贩运受害者。拉拉的故事令人心碎地提醒人们亚马逊野生动物面临的巨大压力。动物们像拉拉一样，因自然栖息地的破坏和非法野生动物贸易的无情需求而挣扎，面临的风险越来越大。亚马逊，一个广阔而生物多样性丰富的生态系统，是无数物种的家园，但它们的生存受到人类剥削和环境退化的威胁。拉拉已被救出，现在生活在一个帮助她和其他美洲豹茁壮成长的庇护所。拉拉的故事凸显了提高公众意识和采取行动保护这些脆弱生物及其脆弱家园的紧迫性。摄影师兼电影制作人克里斯蒂·奥多姆曾在地球上最偏远的许多地方工作，以帮助记录那些有助于保护我们星球生物多样性的故事。她是一位国际获奖摄影师，国际保护摄影师联盟的准会员，尼康大使和励志演说家。她坚信摄影的力量可以带来积极的改变，并最终有助于保护地球的野生动物。

"P-22 birthed a wildlife movement in L.A. that is only going to grow and grow... Thereís no cat like him." -Steve Winter P-22 was an elusive yet infamous wild cougar who made Los Angeles's Griffith Park his home for 10 years, nearly his whole life.

This is Rajan. He is a 66-year-old Asian elephant brought to the Andaman Islands for logging in the 1950s. He and a small group of 10 elephants were forced to learn how to swim in the ocean to help bring the logged trees to nearby barges and then eventually swim onto the next island. When logging became banned in 2002, Rajan was out of a job. He spent the rest of his days living out an idyllic elephant retirement on one of the islands he helped log. I photographed him and his Majout (caretaker) named Nazroo who had been together for 30yrs and documented Rajan spending time sunbathing on the beach, swimming in the ocean and foraging in the forest. Rajan was the last of the group to survive until his death in 2016. He was truly the last of his kind. This image is from the artist series "The Last of His Kind”. An award-winning photographer, Jody MacDonald is no stranger to adventure and exploration in the last untamed corners of the planet. Follow Jody MacDonald on Instagram @jodymacdonaldphoto — 这是Rajan。他是一头66岁的亚洲象，于20世纪50年代被带到安达曼群岛进行伐木。他和一小群10头大象被迫学会游泳，以便将砍下的树木运往附近的驳船，然后最终游到下一个岛屿。当2002年伐木被禁止后，Rajan就失业了。他余下的日子在他曾帮助伐木的其中一个岛屿上度过了悠闲的大象退休生活。我为他和他30年来一直在一起的Majout（照看者）Nazroo拍了照，记录了Rajan在海滩上晒太阳、在海里游泳以及在森林里觅食的情景。Rajan是这个群体中最后一个活到2016年去世的。他真是最后一个他那样的人。这张照片来自艺术系列“最后一个他那样的人”。屡获殊荣的摄影师Jody MacDonald对探索地球上最后一个未被驯服的角落并不陌生。

Llamas roam freely at the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, a reminder of the intimate connection of people, culture and animals in the high Andes of Peru. Llamas were domesticated to carry heavy loads across steep mountain trails. They made life possible here at this 15th-century icon, often referred to as the ìLost City of the Incas.î Jim Richardson has built his photographic career around visual storytelling by creating groundbreaking work in documentary, resource issues, environmental photography and the critical concerns of feeding the planet.

Off the coast of Guraidhoo, Maldives, two reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) display their typical feeding behaviour: They circle backwards through the water to filter zooplankton. Fascinated by this unique ìdanceî, I observed these two individuals for a while until they swam closer to each other. I took the chance, held my breath and dove down to capture the moment, that reminded me of Yin and Yang. Melanie M¸ller is a wildlife photographer. Working for the German foreign service, she lived in Spain, Lebanon, Dominican Republic and Guatemala. Her photos of the endangered Antillean manatee were exhibited in the Dominican Museum for Natural History.

An emperor penguin family, during a snowy day. In this case the pose, the positioning and the overall mood of the snow falling created this scene of love, protection and serenity. Emperor penguins create a very unique and strong family bond amongst all members which becomes obvious when they interact with one another. Especially during bad weather, parents will stand in front of their chick facing the elements and protecting the youngster from being exposed to direct wind and snowdrift. When both parents are present at the same time, sometimes they will even stand in a half-circle formation around their chick and really shield it from the weather. Itís a wonderful and uplifting thing to watch. Stefan Christmann, born in 1983 in Koblenz, is a nature photographer and filmmaker from Germany. He was particularly interested in the emperor penguin colony in the neighboring Atka Bay, Antarctica. Heís been captivated by this charismatic bird ever since. With the poetry of his pictures and his emotional stories about the continent at the end of the world, Christmann wants to reveal the special beauty and vulnerability of the polar regions. His active educational work is intended to benefit not only the emperor penguins, but also their endangered Antarctic habitat. — 一只帝企鹅家庭，在下雪的一天。在这种情况下，姿势、构图和飘落的雪营造出一种爱、保护和宁静的景象。帝企鹅之间形成了非常独特和牢固的家庭纽带，当它们相互互动时，这一点显而易见。尤其是在恶劣天气下，父母会站在幼崽前面，面向元素，保护幼崽免受风和雪的直接侵袭。当父母都在场时，有时他们会围成半圆形围绕着幼崽，真正地保护它免受天气影响。这是一件美妙而令人振奋的事情。Stefan Christmann，1983年出生于科布伦茨，是一位德国自然摄影师和电影制作人。他特别对南极阿特卡湾的帝企鹅种群感兴趣。从那时起，他就被这种富有魅力的鸟类所吸引。Christmann希望通过他照片的诗意和关于世界尽头大陆的情感故事，揭示极地地区的美丽和脆弱性。他积极的教育工作不仅旨在造福帝企鹅，还旨在造福它们濒危的南极栖息地。

Jaguar in the jungle Karine Aigner's life reads like a set of novellas. Raised in Saudi Arabia, Karine motorcycled through Vietnam, circumnavigated the globe by ship, taught English in Taiwan, and then there was the time the hyena pups chewed her shoes (while on her feet). On her first trip to Africa, she fell in love with a continent. From one chapter to the next, her adventures uncover her fervor to tell the stories of life through the lens of a camera; her passion became stories of animals: their relationships to humans, their relationships to their own world, and their existence in the space between the two. Follow Karine on Instagram @kaigner. — 丛林中的美洲虎 Karine Aigner 的人生就像一系列短篇小说。她成长于沙特阿拉伯，骑摩托车穿越越南，乘船环游世界，并在台湾教英语，还有一次鬣狗幼崽在她脚上啃咬她的鞋子。第一次去非洲旅行时，她爱上了这片大陆。从一个篇章到下一个篇章，她的冒险经历揭示了她通过相机镜头讲述生命故事的热情；她的热情变成了关于动物的故事：它们与人类的关系，它们与自己世界的关系，以及它们在这两者之间的存在。

Every day, western toad tadpoles swim up from the safer depths of the lake in British Columbia, Canada, dodging predators and trying to reach the shallows where they can feed.

Those that do make it to adulthood face threats from roads, pesticides and herbicides, and the chytrid fungus. Shane Gross is a Canadian underwater and conservation photojournalist known for his work in marine life photography and promoting ocean and freshwater conservation. His images highlight the beauty of underwater ecosystems while raising awareness about the threats they face.
