  • Photo by @CristinaMittermeier | I met this Lisu man as he gathered gifts of the forest, in the Tibetan mountains of northwestern Yunnan in China. Here, each remote village has a sacred forest or “nong” where the people believe gods and ancestral spirits reside. Because of the forest’s spiritual nature, villagers are prohibited from harming it in any way, but they can collect fallen firewood, mushrooms, and medicinal plants. #FollowMe at @CristinaMittermeier for more of my photos from around the world. #enoughness #nature #photography
  • Photo by David Chancellor @chancellordavid | Golden eagle chick, Cairngorm National Park, Scotland - these guys are incredibly important to the ecosystem and yet many in the highlands see them as pests, as they take large numbers of grouse, rabbit, hare, and young deer. We climbed down to this nest towards the end of July accompanying the licensed ringer who weighed, measured and ringed both the chicks in this nest; and yes he is very much watching me, I was after all pretty much sharing his nest 😏💚❤️ Both have now fledged and will compliment the biodiversity of this region. It’s vital that estates here support these populations - to see more from here and elsewhere, follow me @chancellodavid @thephotosociety @everydayextinction
  • Photo by @simonnorfolkstudio | Adanac Military Cemetery is a burial ground for those killed in the World War I. It's near the French villages of Miraumont, Pys and Courcelette. The cemetery was laid out after the Armistice of November 11, 1918, when graves were brought in from the battlefields around Courcelette and small cemeteries surrounding Miraumont. The cemetery was designed by Sir Herbert Baker and contains 3186 casualties of the war from the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. I've been working for a couple of years now on a project about the aftermath of the war.

  • Photo by @salvarezphoto | Chomolungma, as it is known in Tibet, rises like a giant pyramid of stone among the high peaks of Himalayas. Known in the west as Mount Everest, it is the tallest mountain in the world. The official height is 29,029 feet, but the mountain gains some height as the Indian land mass collides with Eurasia. The Himalayas are one of the best places to see the titanic forces of geology at work. Follow @salvarezphoto for more #Chomolungma #everest #aerial
  • Photo by @melissafarlow | Morning fog lifts and sun and shadows paint Keller Reservoir and the surrounding Pennsylvania woods. Water and forest health are connected, which is the emphasis of a growing number of managed programs in the region. @thephotosociety @thenatureconservancy #woodlands #forest #trees #lockhaven #pennsylvania

These women are in a community surrounding Loisaba Conservancy (@loisaba_conservancy) and are being supported and given access to international markets. Revenue from ecotourism is reinvested into neighboring communities like #Ewaso.

  • Video by @amivitale | Wild adult elephants drink and cool off at a watering on the Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy. An elephant’s trunk typically holds around half of a gallon of water, but a big bull elephant can hold as much as 2.5 gallons. After spraying themselves, the elephants will often coat themselves with dust which acts as a bug repellent and sunblock. Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy is home to Reteti Elephant Sanctuary (@r.e.s.c.u.e), the first ever community-owned and run elephant sanctuary in Africa. Reteti operates in partnership with Conservation International (@conservationorg) who provide critical operational support and work to scale the Reteti community-centered model to create lasting impacts worldwide. Follow @amivitale @conservationorg & @r.e.s.c.u.e to learn about the incredible work being done to protect and preserve these magical beings. @nrt_kenya @kenyawildlifeservice @sandiegozoo @tusk_org @thephotosociety @natgeo #namunyak #protectelephants #bekindtoelephants #DontLetThemDisappear #elephants #saveelephants #stoppoaching #kenya #northernkenya #magicalkenya #whyilovekenya #africa #everydayafrica #natureisspeaking #photojournalism #amivitale
  • Photos by @ciriljazbec | Bhutan is one of the world's remaining biodiversity hotspots. Fir trees create a dense cover in this forest. Approximately 72 percent of Bhutan is covered by forests. The country's government has a mandate that 60 percent will be protected for all time. Despite the government's environmental commitment, Bhutan's glaciers are retreating and melting, causing dangerous floods and resource scarcity. Hiking amidst these trees felt almost spiritual as if I encountered the Great Forest Spirit from the fantastic Miyazaki’s Princess Mononoke film.

  • Photos by @tasneemalsultan | I recently attended the WWE's wrestling show in Saudi Arabia, the Crown Jewel Event in Riyadh, with many other women. I do not consider myself a fan just yet, but I will admit that it was a fun experience- the glitter pants were an added bonus. #riyadh #saudiarabia #WWE #crownjewel
