VIDEO: Photographer Andy Wright reveals how first-hand experiences of Island Conservation restorations inspired his new book
Photographer and author Andy Wright has been a proud supporter of Island Conservation for many years. He has repeatedly, and generously, provided his world-class photo-documentary expertise to capture the beauty and majesty of our projects. To mark the release of his new book, Pelican’s Paradise, Andy featured his incredible work at a virtual exhibit hosted by Canada’s National Observer and Science World, a non-profit science center based in Vancouver.
With the help of generous donors, viewers were transported to the vibrant islands we are rewilding, focusing on five islands: Gwaii Haanas, Canada – Okinoshima, Japan – Kaho’o’lawe, Hawaii – Palmyra Atoll, Northern Line Islands, South Pacific – Isla Floreana and Seymour Norte, Galapagos.
Andy then sat down with esteemed biologist and Island Conservation Advisory Council member Gregg Howald, as well as Linda Solomon Wood from Canada’s National Observer, for a captivating, hour-long discussion. In the video below, Andy poetically describes what it means to travel to some of the world’s most remote islands and capture images of rare endangered species, and the profound experience of observing restored and thriving islands that were once bereft of biodiversity.
