Her Wild

A gallery of environmental photography bringing awareness to climate change and habitat loss.

Pristine landscape images and wildlife photography may unintentionally communicate abundance—a narrative that everything is fine. When we see images of wildlife it’s easy to assume the animals are healthy and plentiful. When we see National Parks, or trending vistas, it’s easy to imagine the land beautiful. The reality is that our earth is struggling, and unmarred landscapes are increasingly small pockets in a world that’s rapidly losing her wild.

From the sky, we see the enormous influence we have on the earth; our story is being carved onto the land.

“The old Lakota was wise. He knew that man's heart away from nature becomes hard; he knew that lack of respect for growing, living things, soon led to a lack of respect for humans too."
