Most people never see this side of the ocean. Gorgonian sea fans like this one filter-feed sideways to the current living architecture that most divers swim right past.
I document reefs like this across oceans. Follow along if you want more of the ocean's quiet details. 🐠🌊

Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park is a breathtaking underwater world of vibrant fish and coral. My journey not only captures the beauty of this hidden world but also sheds light on the importance of preserving our oceans for the future.https://t.co/eoueMDv88D

It is said that the creation of a thousand forests is in one seed. At the WRC Art Competition, students didn’t just showcase their creativity, they also planted the seeds for a greener future.

Still in the spirit of World Wildlife Day!

Through VELP (Visual Ecological Literacy Program), we’re equipping young people with the tools to share their perspectives on climate change and tell their own conservation stories.

That time I decided adventure was my 2nd name & joined an expedition on the Zambezi River which has rapids in many sections.

This was my most difficult, but fun expedition. The rapids meant getting off & walking on the sides as the expert rafting guides did their thing. #GSOA

I have questions for CS @kilimoKE Hon. @Mutahi__Kagwe because was CS @Min_TourismKE Hon. @rebecca_miano and of utmost importance @KWSKenya consulted?

[TonyWild Foundation @TonyWildKe]

Not every day you get to see elephants enjoying a swim! These gentle giants rely on Lake Jipe not just for survival, but also for moments like this—cooling off, playing, and simply being elephants.
