Goals
To inspire people in their every day lives to learn to love the nature around them. To help understand that you don’t have to go all the way around the world to find beautiful nature, it’s on our doorstep and we need to care for it.
“The best way to protect the planet is to listen to its cries and act accordingly.”
History
Louis Graves has a joined a number of charity organisations to work with them for conservation purposes to help protect the species they monitor. In May 2019, he worked alongside BC whales, a charity that protects Humpback, Orca and Fin whales in the fjords of British Columbia and the Great Bear Rainforest. The charity aims to understand whales in order to protect them for the future, it also looks to minimise the disturbance brought about by shipping and boats. So land based visuals run 90% of the monitoring they do with the whales.
Louis has also worked with a safari camp out in India (2016), known as ‘Kipling camp’ (in the buffer zone of Kanha Tiger reserve). Taking tourists around on safari and giving them guided bird tours around the neighbouring forest areas of the camp. The camp is run by Belinda Wright (founder of WPSI - Wildlife Protection Society of India, 1994).
