wildlife4wildlife
As a wildlife photographer with a deep love for Africa, my passion for wildlife protection grew with each visit to this incredible continent.
It's clear: if we want to continue witnessing the beauty of our planet's wildlife, action is necessary. Poaching, trophy hunting, and human encroachment on habitats are pushing our wild fauna to the brink of extinction.
I already supported several projects from the very beginning, but I felt I could do more. That's why I decided to combine my love for animals and photography in a meaningful way. Therefore, I created the initiative wildlife4wildlife to support projects dedicated to wildlife protection, especially in Africa.
This is where you come in! All profits from the sale of my artwork - whether fine art prints, canvases, greeting cards, or calendars - are donated directly to wildlife protection projects.
On a regular basis, I support a very important initiative in Tanzania, "Save Elephants with Bees", which aims to protect elephants from human-wildlife conflict by using beehive fences to deter them from crops. This innovative approach not only helps safeguard farmers’ livelihoods but also reduces the risk of elephants being harmed. The campaign highlights the importance of coexistence between humans and wildlife, promoting sustainable solutions for wildlife conservation.

In 2018, I was appointed ambassador for the ZENWETRUST. They were in dire need of funds to fully rehabilitate the Cecil Kop Nature Reserve in Zimbabwe to a point where it could sustain itself through income from visitors, educational programmes, and volunteer programmes.
Some further projects that I supported on an ad hoc basis in the past:
Giant Otter Project in the Pantanal
Cheetah Forever
Giraffe Conservation Foundation
Naankuse Foundation Wildlife Sanctuary
NSW Wildlife Information and Rescue WIRES
