BG Group and Conservation International have entered into a partnership to build universal awareness of the importance of our natural world and to demonstrate how photography can be used as a tool to conserve it.

This Conservation through Photography Alliance will focus on creating unique opportunities to acquire, capture, store and disseminate imagery of bio-diversity hotspots and wilderness areas around the world. 

The partnership will concentrate on the following four key areas:

• training field conservationists in photography

• enhancing coverage of undocumented places and species

• building a library of conservation photography and

• disseminating conservation messages through international photo exhibitions

Founded in 1987, Conservation International is a field based non-profit organisation working in more than 40 countries around the world, helping local communities find economic alternatives without harming their natural environments.
