Stunning Photographs of Earth's Gentle Giants -- (Truly Magnificent Creatures!)

Re-Post Of StudioVox Crew - September 22nd, 2016

Because I love this site and love what they do and are doing with spreading the word around of amazing artist in so many forms I am glad to have the opportunity to be able to re-post there daily post that I get from them straight in to my gmail.  Lucky me and lucky you since now I am posting them here.

No this is not some lame way for me in skating by and taking it easy in creating new post just for my blog here................ or is it.........  OK, maybe a little but really, for at least a couple of weeks now I have been wanting to figure out how to save all the wonderful emails I do get from them on a daily basis and only wish I had been doing it sooner but glad I am doing it now.

So I will probably be posting these past paragraphs for a little bit until I feel it is necessary not to do so and a link to StudioVox's site as you see below.

Wildlife Photography by Nick Brandt
It's National Elephant Appreciation Day! Who better to celebrate these wise, playful, intelligent and larger than life animals, than wildlife photographer Nick Brandt?
An English photographer who photographs exclusively in Africa with one of his goals being to record a last testament to the wild animals before they disappear.
In September 2010 Brandt and conservationist Richard Bonham founded the Big Life Foundation; A non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Africa’s wildlife and ecosystems.
Within just one year of inception, the Big Life Foundation elicited a dramatic reduction in poaching in the ecosystem. Big Life’s teams are now apprehending poachers almost every time they kill, with a number of significant arrests of some of the worst, most prolific long-term poachers in the region have at long last been engineered by Big Life's teams. As a result of these successes, Big Life has been able to quickly send out a strong message that killing wildlife now carries a far greater risk of being arrested.
Big Life Foundation has been able to achieve all this in such a short amount of time because its' leaders live and work on the ground in the project areas, where they are able to stay connected and engaged with the local communities, garnering the critical support necessary to maximize effective, efficient operations. It means that Big Life is always ready to react and respond immediately to ever-changing situations, but always with a view to the long-term sustainability of the projects.
