Our Wild World

It’s never been clearer that now is a crucial moment for the global environment and that how we address this moment in our history will impact the future human experience on our planet, especially in the case for Africa and it’s precious wildlife. Guillaume has decided the best way to communicate and bring these problems to international attention is to undertake a systematic visual record of the continent’s vanishing wilderness, documenting how man is erasing 300 million years of evolution for personal gain, “Only 50 years ago man had to be protected from the beasts; today the beasts must somehow be protected from man.” These words, written back in 1965, never sounded truer than they do today. Yet when Peter Beard first expressed these concerns forty-five years ago, he would not have guessed how bad things would become for Africa’s wildlife and its habitat.
