What is Conservation Photography?
Conservation Photography is the use of photography and photojournalism as a conservation resource to protect nature, wildlife, habitat, or a culture. It tells a story by using the photographer’s eye to capture a visual image that documents a subject’s world like no other conservation tool can achieve with emotion.
What is a Wildlife Conservation Photographer?
Wildlife conservation photographers are wildlife "visual storytellers" who use their passion for photography to evoke change or make a difference through visual education and outreach with a goal of expanding public awareness and knowledge for a species or cause.

As a volunteer to protect and preserve the critically endangered Hawaiian Monk Seals, I've been with both professional conservation organizations (HMMA and HMSPO) as well as an Independent Volunteer. I served in several capacities such as beach response and administrator, using my photographs for websites, print articles, educational materials, grants and social media.
Rescue Team Lead, Education and Outreach Administrator, and Photographer. Hui Manu-o-Kū is a group of conservationists, researchers, and citizens who have one thing in common: an interest and admiration for the White Terns. The group ensures that the official bird of Honolulu is taken care of and watched after. Manu-o-Kū is a very unique bird, especially for an urban center like Honolulu.
