One hundred of the world’s best photographers have come together to offer an extraordinary selection of works of art to raise awareness and fund conservation efforts around the world. The mission of the initiative, Vital Impacts, is to support organizations working to protect threatened habitats and storytellers who amplify these critical stories.
Dr Jane Goodall DBE, the world’s foremost expert on chimpanzees, also provided signed prints of her work in Gombe, Tanzania, sixty years ago. These never-before-seen images include a self-portrait, as well as two other images showing the remarkable life of the chimpanzees she has worked to protect for more than 60 years. Other contributors are taken from the covers of National Geographic and the most prestigious art galleries in the world. Outstanding photographers include Paul Nicklen, James Balog, Cristina Mittermeier, Nick Brandt, Chris Burkard, Jimmy Chin, Tamara Dean, David Doubilet, Beverly Joubert, Keith Ladzinski, Jim Naughten, Maggie Steber, Joel Sartore, Tim Flach, Carolyn Guzy , Matthieu Paley, Xavi Bou, Beth Moon, Ami Vitale, Stephen Wilkes and Reuben Wu, who are among the hundred participating photographers.
The initiative will support the Big Life Foundation, the Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program, Great Plains Conservation’s Project Ranger and SeaLegacy. The initiative is led by women and founded by the winner National Geographic photographer and filmmaker Ami Vitale and visual journalist Eileen Mignoni.
