Photography is an integral tool in documenting conservation in action and in creating an engaging and inspiring visual narrative.
This slideshow of imagery was collected during a recent undergraduate field trip to the Galapagos Islands, made by students of marine and natural history photography. Their project, entitled 'Conservation Optimism Photography', was an opportunity to capture through stills and moving image, both underwater and topside, the work of conservationists from the Charles Darwin Foundation and the Galapagos National Park Directorate, to bring back and share visual stories of optimism from this iconic conservation location.
