Thank you for visiting COOL Landscape Photography. Our world is ever changing and human activity has significantly altered marine and freshwater ecosystems, temperate broadleaf forests, temperate grasslands, Mediterranean forests, and tropical dry forests to name a few.
I wanted the COOL Landscape Photography site to draw attention to just how important landscape photographs can be in conveying powerful conservation messages that are needed now more than ever. This conservation effort through landscape photography can not be left to world-class professionals alone as their voice carries a lot more weight when it is backed by the masses. Thus amateur photographers have a vital role to play in conserving ecosystems for future generations. This is especially so in the case of local issues where images can swing the argument in local conservation battles.
My wish is that the landscape images I present on the COOL Landscape Photography site will inspire other people to appreciate the natural world that surrounds them. And if it so moves them to capture that beauty through landscape images of their own which one day may help to influence vital conservation efforts at a local or global level.
