About "Prints for Wildlife"

Prints for Wildlife is a fundraiser for African wildlife and communities that has raised over 2.1 million USD over the course of three month-long editions since 2020.

• A fundraiser to support wildlife conservation & communities in Africa
• 240+ photographers, 1 cause
• Our mission: Give back to nature!

Effectively managed parks serve as a nucleus for stability, in that they become safe places. Where wildlife thrive, people thrive. These well-managed parks deliver a host of ecological, socio-political and economic benefits for people living in and around these landscapes. They create jobs, provide education, and change lives.

That is why an inspired and generous group of acclaimed international and emerging wildlife photographers has come together three times since 2020 for an extraordinary, limited-edition, month-long print fundraiser to support local communities and wildlife in Africa.

 

"Prints for Wildlife is more than just a fundraiser. It’s a community of like-minded people coming together and taking action for wildlife conservation. It’s over 240 photographers who have already donated their stunning photos for the good cause. It’s thousands of people around the globe buying prints to support the conservation of some of the most important ecosystems of our planet. It’s one of the most hopeful stories in conservation - and we need you to spread this hope even further! If you are passionate for nature and wildlife then Prints for Wildlife is your chance to do good while also receiving some of the most outstanding wildlife photos from world renown photographers and upcoming talents as limited edition prints for your home or to give away as gifts."

A look back at the beginning of "Prints for Wildlife"

The print fundraiser titled “Prints for Wildlife” was launched for the first time in July 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic to raise funds for African Parks to ensure protected areas continue to deliver benefits to people and wildlife during this unprecedented global crisis.

Since then a lot has changed, but the natural world still needs our support! Watch as Pie Aerts and Marion Payr, co-founders of Prints for Wildlife, tell us a little more about the campaign and what inspired them to start it.

For this project we partnered with Hahnemühle and chose to work with the brand-new sustainable Hahnemühle Natural Line Hemp 290 gr paper. This paper uses one of the oldest and most diverse natural fibres in the world and is made of 60% hemp fibre and 40% cotton. The lightly textured surface gives the paper a pleasant, silky feel. Combined with the matt premium inkjet coating, this is a truly versatile fine-art inkjet paper. Colours and details are brilliantly reproduced, the depth of the black truly stands out and contrasts are reproduced with stunning effect. The acid and lignin-free fine-art inkjet paper meets the most discerning requirements for age resistance. A beautiful and sustainable printing solution.
