Images from a Warming Planet

For as long as I can remember I have been interested in the natural world and environment, as a child I was an avid bird watcher, a hobby I still pursue to this day. Later on in life my other hobby of photography developed into a full time profession.

Support Images from a Warming Planet campaign

Description

<p>The next step is to print 500 of the best photographs in an art photographic book entitled “Images from a Warming Planet”. Jonathon Porritt has kindly written the foreword for the book, which I plan to self-publish. To this end I have launched a crowd funding campaign on Kickstarter to raise the vital funds to enable me to print the book. I truly believe that this book will have a real impact on alerting the world to what is already happening out there as a result of climate change, and importantly, what we can all do to avert its worst impacts.</p>

<p>If you could <a href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/warmingplanet/images-from-a-warming…; target="_blank">support this campaign</a> by donating I would be truly grateful, no sum is too small. </p>

<p>The campaign runs for just 30 days. People’s pledged money will only be taken If the target of £50,000 is reached. I launched the campaign on 1st June, it runs to the 30th June. Already I have been overwhelmed by peoples kindness. Following a TV appearance in the UK about the project, I was contacted by a lady who said she wanted to give me a donation. I gave her my address and a week later a card arrived in the post with a cheque for £20,000</p>

<p>Thanks for considering supporting this. My hope is that this project may prevent more people suffering the future horrendous consequences of climate change.</p>

Who else is going #WildforLife?

<p>This campaign is being endorsed by celebrities across the globe as well as UNEP GoodWill Ambassadors:</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/images/Gisele_Bundchen_-_Facebook.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 420px;" /><br />
<span style="font-size:12px;"><em><strong>Brazilian model and UNEP Goodwill Ambassador Gisele Bündchen:</strong> “It saddens me that in the 21st century, with all our knowledge and power, we are still hearing stories of wildlife facing the possibility of extinction at the hands of man. It is clear to me that a radical global shift needs to occur and it will take everyone accepting the challenge to support the UNEP Wild for Life campaign. Knowledge is power and now is the time to set our minds to ending all illegal wildlife trade before the choice is no longer in our hands. Today, I am giving my name to change the game for sea turtles.”</em></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><em><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/images/Li_Bingbing_-_Facebook%20%281%29.jpg" style="width: 800px; height: 420px;" /><br />
<strong>Chinese Actress Li Bingbing:</strong> “Many do not realize that ivory comes from dead elephants and that by buying ivory, they may be playing a role in the illegal wildlife trade, supporting criminal groups and pushing elephants closer to extinction. This new campaign will not allow ignorance, indifference, fashion or status to serve as an excuse. Today, I am giving my name to change the game for elephants.”</em></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/images/Yaya_Toure_-_Facebook_compressed.jpg" style="height: 420px; width: 800px;" /><br />
<span style="font-size:12px;"><em><strong>Ivorian footballer Yaya Touré:</strong> “On the pitch, I see how important it is to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with my teammates to take on the challenge and secure victory. The team we need to form to beat the illegal trade in wildlife is not just eleven – it is seven billion. And I hope to use my sphere of influence to ignite this movement. Today, I am giving my name to change the game for elephants. Give yours too and join my team. This is a challenge we can’t afford to lose.”</em></span></p>
