FRANS AND CHRIS “DIVE IN” WITH SYLVIA EARLE

We joined legendary marine explorer and conservationist Dr. Sylvia Earle and her daughter, Liz Taylor, recently for a webinar hosted by the advocacy group Ocean Elders. We talked about environmental hope spots around the world, including California’s Monterey Bay. In case you missed it, you can watch it here.

The February issue of BBC Wildlife features a cover story illustrated with my photos about the plight of the highly endangered Asiatic Cheetah and the political issues that caused a group of Iranian conservationists to get arrested with wrongful accusations of using their camera traps for spying.

I’ve shared images and stories about this tragedy before, on my social media accounts. Please follow us on Instagram @FransLanting and @ChristineEckstrom to stay engaged.

I am delighted to share Holland Herald’s April 2018 publication with you, where I was featured in their cover story. In preparation, I was interviewed about the history of my relationship with nature and photography, my career and the work that Chris Eckstrom and I do together. My photograph of a Black-throated mango male hummingbird in flight was published on the cover. You can read the full article on Holland Herald’s website here.
