Changing worlds with photography. Please help support my photojournalism efforts to document wildlife conservancy in Malaysia!

Donors like you have helped photographers fundraise 100% of project-related costs since 2014!

Photographers Without Borders has selected me to go to Malaysia to photo document the efforts of the Turtle Conservancy Society as it relates to the endangered species in the area. The Turtle Conservancy Society (TCS) was established in October 2011 with the aim to bring about the recovery of depleted wild populations of turtles, with particular reference to freshwater turtles, in Malaysia through partnerships with like-minded organizations, individuals and local communities as well as through its own programs.

PROJECT DETAILS

As a member of the Photographers Without Borders team, I will work closely with the organization in a small village in Chukai to document the research, conservation, education and public outreach work that TCS is working hard to accomplish. Story-telling the efforts of TCS though the use of visual media will bring about both local and global awareness. This photo journalistic journey gives me the opportunity to produce images to help the on-going efforts of TCS to save such endangered species as the River Terrapin, Painted Terrapin, Green Turtle, Hawksbill Turtle, and Leatherback Turtle, to name a few. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to offer my skills to help global outreach to this small village in Malaysia but I need your support to make it happen.

And now, a bit about the awesome Photographers Without Borders Organization!

Every year, PWB photographers and videographers donate hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of their time to document the work of grassroots initiatives that are making a real change in this world where it is most needed.
