16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World

Wildlife conservation is very important to me. I am trying to create powerful visuals that want to make people act and take a stance at protecting our wildlife. Words mean nothing if we don’t take action. I travel with purpose to try to show people how beautiful our world is and that it is so important thar we all learn to coexhist! Leopards are animals that are hard to find on safari. If we don’t stop the poaching of our animals we will lose the number 1 reason people go to africa. We will make it so future generations will never experience seeing these beautiful beings and we will destroy a huge way people in Africa make an income.
