Prints for Wildlife (@printsforwildlife) is an unprecedented fundraiser bringing together the work of more than 130 photographers in 2022. 100% of the proceeds after printing and handling will go to African Parks (@africanparksnetwork), in support of the non-profit conservation organization’s mission to protect 30 parks by 2030. Prints are available through Sunday, September 25 only, in limited editions of 100. . African Parks is currently in discussions with governments across the continent to preserve extraordinary and irreplaceable places and support the local communities that care for them. Right now, 22 parks fall under their management–including places like Akagera National Par in Rwanda. The only Big 5 Park in the country, Akagera is a safe haven for elephants, lions, leopards, rhinos, and buffalos. . But it wasn’t always the magical place it is today. More than twenty years ago, Akagera was devastated by the Rwandan genocide; during this time, the lions were exterminated, and the rhinos disappeared. At one point, poaching snares numbered in the thousands. The rehabilitation of Akagera comes down to the tireless efforts of the Rwandan government and African Parks, who have been managing the park since 2010. Lions, black rhinos, and white rhinos were reintroduced in 2015, 2017 and 2019, and 2021, respectively. Now, the park provides direct support for 300,000 people. .
