Working with the general public

The Australian ranger Sean Willmore sold his car, borrowed a mortgage on his house, and travelled for 14 months around the world. He accompanied rangers in many different countries at their partly perilous work and brings their stories close to us…

 

…off touristic trails and idyllic scenes everyday people get involved with the protection of our natural heritage. Sean Willmore documents their fight against poaching in southern Africa as well as their work in environmental education in Costa Rica or the rescue of injured hikers in North America.
