Uzma, 4, learns how to write the alphabet at a school in Meerwala, Pakistan. Providing girls with an education helps break the cycle of poverty: educated girls and women are less likely to marry early and against their will; more likely to have healthy pregnancies and babies; and are more likely to send their children to school. Full access to a quality education creates a ripple effect of opportunity that influences generations to come. This image was previously featured on this feed, but I am reposting again because I have just made it available for purchase as part of @tooyoungtowed’s week long sale of my hand printed & signed images. This is your chance to own a print by a National Geographic photographer and help girls at the same time! 100% of all proceeds received will support @tooyoungtowed’s programming to help girls and end child marriage. MAKE CHANGE WITH US by purchasing a print before the fundraiser ends on Sept. 20th, visit:http://ift.tt/1EYvkXo.

@marcusbleasdale I’m here studying an MSt in international relations whilst working for @natgeo In Central African Republic. Follow me for more updates. College Chapel is the chapel to King’s College of the University of Cambridge, and it is considered one of the finest examples of late Perpendicular Gothic English architecture. The chapel was built in phases by a succession of kings of England from 1446 to 1515, a period which spanned the Wars of the Roses. The chapel’s large stained glass windows were not completed until 1531, and its early Renaissancerood screen was erected in 1532–36. The chapel is an active house of worship, and home of the King’s College Choir. The chapel is a significant tourist site and commonly used symbol of the city of Cambridge. by natgeo http://ift.tt/1FSnFVS

Photo by @stephenwilkes: The Bethlehem Steel plant was one of America’s largest steel producers from 1857-2003. Here lie steel scraps of the many great structures that made up the old steel mill. Ironically, the mass of these remnants overshadow the Bessemer furnaces that created them, hidden in the background of this image–now blocked by their product’s remains. Today, much of the steel has been reused and re-purposed but serves as a reminder of what was. This image is part of a series titled, “Remnants”, which is sourced from work I have done over the years. It is one of many images that serve to remind us of what we leave behind in a world forever impacted by our actions and “needs”. Find out more about the series and see more images from the collection on my account @stephenwilkes. #RemnantsExhibit #BethlehemSteel #scraps #reuse #reduce by natgeo http://ift.tt/1V0WeWc

Photograph by @thomaspeschak Common dolphins are what I call baitball architects. During South Africa’s sardine run they are the only predator fast, agile and intelligent enough to control the movement of the fish. In large pods these dolphins carve off smaller groups of sardines from the massive main shoals and herd them to the surface. Some dolphins will continue to circle and herd the fish while others rush in to feed on this silvery bounty. #southafrica #sardinerun #dolphins @natgeocreative To see more images from one of natures greatest wildlife spectacles you can follow @thomaspeschak by natgeo http://ift.tt/1V0EDbo

Photo by @amivitale #onassignment for @natgeo. This is a rare moment when a panda keeper in costume does a quick two-month health check on a cub at Wolong China Conservation & Research Center for the Giant Panda in Sichuan Province, China. He first must carefully wait for the mother panda to leave while she forages for food and then quickly weigh and check the cub. Because these pandas will be released back into the wild, the interaction with the keepers is very limited and they must wear costumes which are scented so the pandas never get used to humans. The pandas must go through a series of tests over two years to be sure they are ready to live in the wild because after just one generation in captivity, they forget the skills they need to survive in the wild. Follow @amivitale for more adorable pandas. @ipandacam @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #pandas #babypandas #wolong #sichuan #conservation #natureisspeaking #china #animals #wildlife #photooftheday #photography #nature #seetheworld #photojournalism #amivitale by natgeo http://ift.tt/1OgbY39

photo by @joelsartore | Meet the largest species of gecko, the giant day gecko, photographed at the Sedgwick County Zoo (@sedgwickcountyzoo) in Wichita, Kansas. Originating from Madagascar, these reptiles are most commonly found in the trees of tropical rainforests, where they use their adhesive toe pads to climb even the smoothest of surfaces.

Photograph by @thomaspeschak For more than half the year the western edge of Oman’s Arabian sea coast is bathed in warm water. The seabed is carpeted in corals and alive with colorful reef fish. However when the southeastern monsoon begins to blow in June the water cools rapidly and seasonal algae and kelp forests begin to grow quickly. The corals survive beneath the seaweed fronds, but it is always a curious sight to encounter porcupine and other coral reef fish swimming through undersea forests of kelp. Unpublished photograph from my @natgeo Seas of Arabia story. #oman #khareef @arabiansea @saveourseafoundation @thephotosociety @natgeocreative by natgeo http://ift.tt/1Lzlo3Q

@natgeo Photograph by @cookjenshel The Battle of Antietam began at dawn on September 17, 1862. It remains the bloodiest single day in American military history – 23, 000 lives were lost. The sycamore tree, at the end of the Burnside Bridge is the last living witness of that battle – and is part of our Wise Trees project. The battle was a turning point in the Civil War, providing impetus for President Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. @thephotosociety @natgeocreative #WiseTrees #BattleofAntietam #CivilWar #AntietamNationalBattlefield by natgeo http://ift.tt/1P14sGG

Photograph by @paulnicklen for @sea_legacy. A Winged Pteropod, also known as a sea butterfly or sea angel floats around the Barents Sea near Svalbard, Norway. These pteropods are free-swimming snails that use wing-like flaps to navigate through the water column. This one was less than half and inch in diameter. As the ocean becomes more acidic the shells of these mollusks are literally melting.

Many years of protective measures have resulted in one of the most intact marine realms in the Indian Ocean #SIF #conservation #seychelles A feature story on conservation in the Seychelles is scheduled to be published in @natgeo magazine in early 2016.

Image by @beverlyjoubert. Endangered wild dogs, otherwise known as painted wolves are exceptional and very effective hunters not generally known for scavenging. So we were surprised to find a pack feeding on a giraffe carcass in the Selinda Reserve in Botswana. We don’t know how the giraffe died but had seen a leopard and hyaenas feeding previously. Perhaps it was just too good an opportunity to pass up. #wilddogs #paintedwolves #endangered #botswana #unusualsightings by natgeo http://ift.tt/1W2xREG
