Field Notes
Conservation and the Camera
By Ismail Bhai
Photographs have changed how the world sees wildlife. Ismail Bhai believes every photographer can contribute to conservation.
Telling the story
Images of animals in their habitat help people care about places they may never visit.
Citizen science
Platforms that record sightings help researchers track species and migrations. A photographer's records can become useful data.
Supporting protected areas
Visiting parks and reserves responsibly, and paying fees that fund rangers and habitat, helps keep wild places wild.
