I became a photographer to give the numbers a face. Seventy percent of the world’s wildlife has disappeared since 1970. Not declined. Disappeared. This is a lioness. She is not the species — she is one animal, a mother, a hunter, part of a pride that has held its territory for years. African lions have lost nearly half their population in two decades. If you can see her, it is harder to look away. #EndangeredSpeciesDay #WildlifeConservation #EndangeredWildlife #AfricaWildlife #BigLife
