I’m trying something new here and am now accepting applicants for a Research Assistant position to work on a longterm project titled Human-Predator Coexistence.
I am looking for a research assistant, preferably with a graduate degree, to help me collate information surrounding the relationship between humans and predators as part of a longterm Storytelling Fellowship with National Geographic Society @insidenatgeo. I have been working on this topic for the past 5 years and am looking for support with this new fellowship. I want to be able to put most of my energy into field work and creating the visuals for this international comparative project.
I am not affiliated with a university, this is for a visual storytelling project that I’ll be working on in the coming year.
I am also interested in collaborating with researchers who are already working in the human-predator conflict/tolerance/coexistence space that I’m not already in contact with.
Please feel free to share this with anyone who might be interested.

Sharing some images and notes from an IG takeover for @ilcp_photographers of images from early on in my exploration into photography, long before I was a working photographer. Most of these images were taken between 2006-2012.
My goal in sharing these visuals and captions is to help those of you that are curious to learn more about the process of visual storytelling related to conservation and also to younger storytellers who reach out to me on a daily basis for advice. I hope you find these posts helpful and please don’t hesitate to ask questions in the comments section below and I will do my best to reply.
The first question to address, and the most common question I’m asked, ‘how can I become a conservation photographer?’ Well, everyone’s path to iLCP is different, but many of my colleagues share a common background as wildlife field biologists. That was my path into this world and is what continues to fuel my curisoasioty about the natural world.
Photo 1 – I’m testing out the lighting of a homemade camera trap to try and capture an image of a beaver in my home state of Montana.
Photo 2 – A northern spotted owl in Yosemite National Park taken on film during my first wildlife field biology job through the Student Conservation Association.
Photo 3 – The eye belongs to a plains spadefoot toad (Spea bombifrons). This was taken back in 2010 when I was working as a field biologist for the state of Montana.
Photo 4 – An American mink running back to its lair with a freshly caught crayfish in Montana.
Photo 5 – A collage of images representing my obsession with photographing waterbirds across Montana (I am a lifelong bird-nerd)
All of these images I took while I was a working wildlife field biologist becoming obsessed with documenting the wildlife I was observing. You will note that all of these images are single photos of an animal, not stories and most without behavior.

Text below by @davidquammen from our article in the current issue of National Geographic Magazine @natgeo. This article puts spotlight on a troubling theme across western Uganda where humans and chimpanzees are in competition for resources.
For more than three years after the trauma of her son’s abduction, Ntegeka Semata and her husband, Omuhereza Semata, a farmer, continued to live in their house. They built a bamboo fence around their tiny backyard, enclosing the cooking shed in what they hoped would be a safe zone for the family. “I am scared all the time that other chimpanzees might come back,” Ntegeka said in that earlier interview.
But the fence was flimsy, the chimps kept returning, and the Sematas felt under siege. Ntegeka couldn’t work in the garden. The children were sometimes too afraid to eat. Even their goat made piteous noises of fear. By the end of 2017, their house was vacant, with a broken window above the front door. The Sematas had fled and were living a marginalized existence in a rented room at a compound three miles away. They owned no farming land there. “I feel like we’ve been cast back into poverty,” she said.
Meanwhile the remaining windows of their old house reflected only the faces of chimpanzees, which visited regularly, glowering in, confused and provoked by the chimp images mirrored there, which seemed to be glowering out.

Except from today’s @washingtonpost article on the announcement that federal protection for gray wolves has ended.
“Trump administration officials on Thursday stripped Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves in most of the U.S., ending longstanding federal safeguards and putting states and tribes in charge of overseeing the predators.
The U.S. Department of Interior announcement just days ahead of the Nov. 3 election could lead to resumption of wolf hunts in Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin — a crucial battleground in the campaign between President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden.”
It brings up an interesting discussion as Colorado citizens will have the opportunity to vote for the reintroduction of wolves on the state’s ballot this coming Tuesday.
Here’s a video to help provide more context for Coloradans related to the Yellowstone wolf reintroduced.
