2. Since 1970 Humanity has wiped out 60% of wildlife
populations
Destruction of wildlife habitats is the leading human-
related cause of extinction, as people around the world
use ¾ of all land on planet for agriculture, industry

Mass killing of animals for food is the second-largest
cause of extinction, with 300 mammal species being
"eaten into extinction."

6. My principles for wildlife photography
Images must be
– Media-quality, high resolution
– Taken in the wild
– Obtained without baiting
– Minimal retouch
– Donated if used by not-for-profits
Spend no more than one week away from family
