Beverly Joubert Instagram – “As we face increasing threats to the safety and security of wild species and spaces, the need for innovative conservation solutions is more urgent now than ever before. This rhino was translocated from a high-poaching zone to an area where it’s hoped it will form part of a new, viable population. Despite a slight decline in the number of rhinos lost to poaching – something that may be attributed to an overall reduction in rhino numbers – illegal killing continues to decimate Africa’s remaining rhino populations. My goal as a wildlife photographer has always been to tell nature’s narratives in a way that inspires and motivate global audiences to fight for the survival of imperilled species. And I hope that images like this reflect the reality of the conservation challenges facing those on the frontlines. Our #ProjectRanger initiative was created through @GreatPlainsFoundation during the pandemic as an emergency relief fund for conservationists struggling without the support of vital tourism revenue. Since then we’ve realised the desperate need for initiatives like this and have continued to raise funds for rangers on the ground who work tirelessly to safeguard wild species and landscapes. Collaborative action is key in achieving conservation success and it’s hoped that by bringing organisations and communities together to fight for a shared cause that we can give imperilled species a fighting chance. I hope you’ve enjoyed following along over the last week as I’ve shared some of my favourite images.
