There's no need to go far to get pictures of #wildlife. We found this juvenile Sparrowhawk with his prey on the street behind our door. #naturephotography #natureinthecity #bird #birdphotography #nikon #nikonphotography #seekingwilderness

When we got stopped at the border of the #Tshopo province in #DRC, we saw a woman throwing out the bones from her stew. A scrawny dog hurried to pick them up. Notice anything? #bushmeat #RDC @IccnRdc #biodiversitycrisis #pandemic #zoonoses #conservation

That is our picture! And our work, too 🥰 #gorillas #conservefuture #NaturePhotography

DID YOU KNOW? The Grauer’s gorillas’ population in the DRC has declined by over 80% in just the last two decades? We work to protect these critically endangered gorillas 365 days a year!

Some people can make such a big change. In Biruwe, that person is the local doctor. With his fields and the local women, he saves lives. #DRC #savinglives #hope

Even though we had been telling everyone about the call and had already done a test call, nobody cared to tell us that the Vodacom network is unreliable or that an Orange network was available. Result: after weeks of preparing via mail, we have to start over again

[Seeking Wilderness @SeekingWild]

When we arrive in the nearby village where there is telephone network, the network just stopped after 10 minutes on the phone. We waited for 2h... it never came back 2/

Another frustrating day in #DRC. We had been asking for the car for 3 days to make sure everybody knew we had to leave in time for an interview with @RTBF... We left with half an hour delay 1/

Reindeer Cyclones are a real thing... a swirling mass of threatened reindeer stampeding in a circle making it impossible to target an individual.. here the fawns are in the middle

This herd is on Russia’s Kola Peninsula, in the Arctic Circle

@Amini16 Omg. Where was this video made?

[WWF @WWF]
