Belief, identity and stewardship intersect in this collection, showcasing the individuals challenging the social norms of who belong in conservation, and how we can connect to conserve. Each story centers individuals whose work reshapes both knowledge and culture, from the sharing of ancient wisdoms to the search for new discoveries. These trailblazers influence future generations to move off established paths and reimagine their relationships with the world, and the possibilities of how the world can relate to each other.
From Brooklyn’s concrete jungle to the heart of the Everglades, Black wildlife photographer George McKenzie Jr. is transforming his lens into a beacon of change. Swapping the weight of a gun for the promise of a camera, McKenzie captures city pigeons and rats as well as elusive panthers. A rare gem in the predominantly white canvas of wildlife photography, McKenzie is empowering kids of color to shift their gaze to conservation.
