Changing worlds with storytelling

Donors like you have helped photographers fundraise project-related costs since 2014!

We have partnered with the Nature for Change and Nuraga Bhumi Insititute to make this project come to life. We will have the exclusive chance to see how palm oil impacts people on the local and global level, how reforestation and buffer zones are being accomplished, and how everyday heroes are rescuing critically-endangered orangutans in need. 

Proceeds go directly to conservation of pristine rainforest in Sumatra, Indonesia, which is home to critically-endangered Sumatran orangutan, rhino, elephant and tiger.

We will document the dynamics of global consumption and wildlife conservation in the realm of social change and gain first hand experience in creating visual stories and narratives that are powerful, truthful and impactful.

The project will be lead by Danielle Khan Da Silva, an international award-winning photographer/filmmaker, Sony Alpha Female, and National Geographic speaker. She was named Top 30 Under 30 Sustainability Leaders, Top Photographer of 2017 and Top 5 Women Changing Media by Matador Network. She is the Founder of PWB and has been on the TEDx stage twice and has also been published in various places such as National Geographic, the Economist, the Independent, and Huffington Post. 

Every year, our Associates (photographers and videographers) donate hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of their time to document the work of our Community Partners (grassroots NGOs, charities and community initiatives) that are making real change in this world where it is most needed. By honouring and witnessing humanity at its best, we hope to inspire and forge new narratives of what is possible. 

You can help by supporting our photographers and videographers (See the side bar to the right to see fundraisers for our most recent Associates).
