WILD9 to Host Gathering of Conservation Photographers
World-class photographers will gather in Merida, Mexico during the 9th World Wilderness Congress (Wild9), to discuss their important contributions to conservation efforts. The catalyst for their participation is WiLD SPEAK, a symposium within Wild9 that will convene leading communications and conservation experts to focus on topics ranging from new trends in photojournalism, to building partnerships with NGOs, to making the most of the new media environment. WiLD SPEAK, organized by Washington-based organization, the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP), will feature some 40 distinguished conservation photographers who will contribute to this symposium including luminaries Art Wolfe, Nick Nichols, Tom Mangelsen, Jack Dykinga, David Doubilet, and Jim Balog.
