Endangered Species
The biodiversity of our world is being adversely affected, both short-term and long-term, by our actions. No other single species has ever exerted such a profound and far-reaching influence on the rest of the planet. Homo sapiens are causing the 6th great mass extinction event on Earth. And the list of endangered species grows longer by the day.
Nick has spent prolonged periods in pursuit of photos of endangered species, believing the power of such images can help educate and allude to the beauty and fragility of the natural world and further conservation objectives and initiatives.
