They say a picture is worth a thousand words. These pictures might be worth even more.

“Prints for Wildlife,” an initiative featuring the work of some of the world’s best nature photographers, has raised more than US$ 2 million for environmental conservation since 2020.

This year’s edition — dubbed “Edition Hope” — runs for one month starting today, featuring limited-edition prints donated by more than 200 renowned wildlife and nature photographers, including Joel Sartore, Georgina Goodwin, Suzi Eszterhas and more.

The initiative is well-timed, with conservation programs around the world facing abrupt funding cuts and a possible future where nature is undervalued.

“The striking images that are part of this collection so perfectly illustrate the power and beauty of nature in its many forms,” said Daniel Raik, interim CEO of Conservation International. “There is no question that everything is connected and when nature thrives, so do we. Thanks to the commitment from many celebrated photographers, this art will give people the opportunity to connect with the natural world each day in their own space, while at the same time supporting its resilience and longevity for the benefit of us all.”

Prints will be available for one month only at printsforwildlife.org, starting today and closing Sept. 21.

Each print is priced at US$ 125 — all net proceeds (after printing and handling) will directly benefit Conservation International.
