• @stevewinterphoto @natgeo In an article in The Dodo, NG Explorer Dr. Jane Goodall says: “Lions, leopards, sable antelopes, giraffes and all the other sport or trophy animals are beautiful – but only in life. In death they represent the sad victims of a sadistic desire to attract praise from their friends at the expense of innocent creatures. And when they claim they respect their victims and experience emotions of happiness at the time of the killing, then surely this must be the joy of a diseased mind? “ Here a lioness waits for her turn to feed on a giraffe under the milky way. We need to make sure all the big cats, elephants, rhinos their other animal cousins and the landscape that is so important to them – and us is around for the future. If you save the forests of the world like the Amazon for the jaguar and puma, central African forests for lions, leopards elephants etc. the forests of India and south Asia for the tiger – we help save ourselves. 50% of our oxygen comes from forests – the other from our oceans. 75% of all fresh water in one way comes from forests. So the air we breathe and the water we drink comes from the homes of these precious animals. I photographed this lioness for my worldwide #leopard story, for @natgeo showcasing the world’s most adaptable, but persecuted, big cat. And for Nat Geo Wild a one hour TV program! Check out Nick Nichols Serengeti Lion site on natgeo.com National Geographic launched the Big Cats Initiative to raise awareness and implement change to the dire situation facing big cats. Please visit CauseAnUproar.org to find out more about Build a Boma and other ways to become involved to save big cats! @natgeocreative @thephotosociety #leopard #photooftheday #bigcatsforever #photojournalism #wildlife #animals #nature #swfoto by natgeo http://ift.tt/1O1Jkj8

• Photograph by @thomaspeschak The shallow Danajon Bank used to be one of the most productive marine realms in the Philippines, but decades of overfishing have taken its toll. Today seaweed farming is often the only viable economic activity left for many impoverished communities. Conservation and social up-liftment programs by @projectseahorse and other NGOs are trying to improve the odds for both people and biodiversity. Nature Tourism, sustainable aquarium fisheries and a novel project that turns discarded fishing nets into carpet tiles are all designed to help restore the Danajon’s Banks once legendary productivity and diversity. @ilcp_photographers @thephotosociety @natgeocreative For more images from this unique marine realm and the conservation measures to protect it please follow @thomaspeschak by natgeo http://ift.tt/1icR3Ri

This one was photographed at the private collection of Gery Dupas in #France. Gery is the founder of a French association dedicated to saving South American parrots & their habitats.

• Photo @ladzinski / The Iceland Highlands are primarily a volcanic desert, covering the bulk of the interior of the island. The majority of water here is quickly soaked into the ground making it difficult for plant growth, resulting in a vast grey and brown landscape. There are pockets however, vast miles of white snow fields, green moss, vegetation and streams of lahara. The geothermic activity is so abundant here that it meets the heating and hot water requirements of roughly 87% of all buildings in Iceland. It’s a landscape all of its own, vibrant and beautifully unpredictable in every season. by natgeo http://ift.tt/1JnhN8s

• @stevewinterphoto @natgeo The news out of Tanzania is horrifying – the country has lost 60% of their elephants in the last 5 years. From 109,000 in 2009 to 43,300 at the end of 2014. Government officials need to stand up to the organized cartels that murder elephants for their ivory. It has been stated that the trade could not be happening without high level govt. participation. We can each participate on social media and make our voices heard for the elephants like this little one in Botswana that have no voice in their bloody future. Stop the demand and the killing can too. Every 15 minutes a elephant is killed for its ivory. We need to make owning ivory an act unbecoming of a civilized people. We need to all become people who respect the lives of elephants and their right to walk this earth as they have for 1000’s of years – free and safe from harm by humans.

• “#hellomynameis Ally Del Monte (@allydelmonte). I live in Connecticut and I just turned 17. I’ve been bullied my entire life because of my weight, and for a long time I couldn’t see anything beautiful about me. Then I started to take more photos, and looked hard to find my own beauty. Now, I take selfies all the time. Sometimes it changes your day to find a great picture of yourself. Whenever you feel cute, you should take a selfie. Even if you don’t feel cute, you should take a selfie, because you can always find one feature that is wonderful. I want to help other teens understand that no matter what others say, there is always something to love about yourself.” For more inspiring stories from young people like Ally, follow @weday.

• photo by @randyolson | words by @neilshea13 — Smeared with grass and gut juice the shy grinning children held in their arms piles of rank cud. In their hair flecks of the bull’s last meal stiffened and dried, while on their bare chests, faces, and lips it clung like wet confetti. The bull had been killed with a stone. Its brains bashed in, its lungs spear-pierced. Brutal and not quick but done in love, for there is no earthly creature held in such regard as a beautiful long-horned bull. Though it was terrible to watch (though I still hear the blows, those dull thuds, and see the bull crash down), I found no malice in the killing. Only heavy-handed tradition. The beast’s flesh had been roasted and shared, feeding dozens of Daasanach men from many generations. Even the skull was charred black and picked over until nothing went wasted. Then, late in the day, one last honor for the hosts, the family who had shared so much feasting with friends. The stomach, saved aside, was opened and the pale cud scooped out. This was carried in potent armfuls to the waiting troop and daubed with affection all over their slender bodies. Children were given most of it and clutched thick wads, happy in memory of a creature they’d cared for, feeling its warmth fade against their ribs. We do this for luck, an old man told me. We believe it brings good things for the children. The boys and girls would wear the blessing to bed and in the morning, adults said, they’d bathe. But I remembered how boys, like puppies, love scent and hate washing, and next day I saw them running toward chores, still wearing luck in their hair, still bringing that bull out to pasture. These Instagram pieces are part of our ongoing project, #NGwatershedstories, and they’re linked to our feature article on Kenya’s Lake Turkana in the August issue of @natgeo magazine. Join us @randyolson and @neilshea13 as we follow water down the desert. #2014 #africa #kenya #laketurkana #jadesea #daasanach #celebration #tradition #bull #portrait #documentary #everydayafrica #everydayeverywhere @thephotosociety @geneticislands by natgeo http://ift.tt/1PpZe78
