Meet the conservationists who work to protect our world’s critical habitat and biodiversity.
The host of the new Nat Geo WILD series Expedition Wild, Casey Anderson offers an exiting and personal account of life with wild animals including his best pal Brutus, a seven-year-old grizzly.
Through tales of his extensive work with alligators, snakes, and other reptiles, Barr shares his passion for science and firsthand observations of a planet in peril.
Having shot nearly 70 stories for National Geographic, Doubilet swims alone. He has introduced a generation to the wonder of the world’s oceans.
As a follow-up to his 2,000-mile (3,200-kilometer) walk across the heart of Africa, Fay recently completed eight months in the air. He flew over 60,000 miles (97,000 kilometers) in a specially designed Cessna that captured a high-resolution aerial image every 20 seconds for his sweeping Megaflyover project.
Wild Africa would be in far greater peril if not for the tireless efforts of the Jouberts, who have devoted more than 25 years to documenting its majestic wildlife in a race to save countless species—especially lions—from extinction and to help man and beast coexist in greater harmony.
Specializing in portraying and interpreting threatened environments, species, and cultures, Mattias Klum is one of the most important natural history photographers of our time.
Best known for his intimate portraits of animals, Lanting is committed to making a difference through his photographs. His recent work documents environmental hot spots.
Fulbright Scholar Mayor was nominated for two Emmy Awards for her work as lead correspondent on National Geographic’s Ultimate Explorer TV series. Mayor can now be seen as a featured host on the new Nat Geo Wild network.
E.O. Wilson’s protégé and recent Lowell Thomas award-winner is brilliant, quirky, and arguably one of the top insect specialists working today.
Unadulterated jungle, ferocious tigers, threatened gorillas, and surfing hippos. These are the things that get Nichols up in the morning. His recent book, The Last Place on Earth , documents his more than two decades of work in Africa.
Growing up in a small Inuit community, Nicklen spent his early years hunting and traveling on land. He quickly developed exceptional field skills and a keen interest in observing wildlife. Now he’s one of the top photographers specializing in the Arctic and its inhabitants.
National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence Dr. Enric Sala has dedicated his career to understanding and finding ways to mitigate human impacts on marine life. Now, he is racing to save the last pristine marine ecosystems around the world before it is too late.
Blending a self-deprecating, wry sense of humor with an enthusiasm for his work and a passion for nature, photographer Joel Sartore shares his adventures in the field with National Geographic.
As one of the leading underwater photographers, Skerry has covered a wide range of stories for National Geographic, documenting the harp seal’s struggle to survive in frozen waters, the alarming decrease in the world’s fisheries, the planet’s last remaining pristine coral reefs, the plight of the right whale, threatened sharks in the Bahamas, and squids. He has emerged as a leading voice for marine conservation.
Celebrated for her ability to bring the topic of climate change out of the boardroom and into the living room, Stenzel goes beyond facts and figures to uncover the stories that are emerging as Antarctica, long considered a bellwether, warms and shrinks before us.
