The International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP) is changing the world and preserving our environment one stunning photo at a time. The nonprofit organization brings together top wildlife, nature and culture photographers, and advocates for conservation through powerful imagery.

You’ve probably seen an iLCP Fellow’s work in National Geographic or going viral on Instagram. This elite group of photographers has captured everything from the migration of Porcupine Caribou in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to cutting-edge research in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.

This year’s caribou calves move west with their mothers through the Clarence River watershed, just miles from the Canadian border during the annual coastal plain migration in the Arctic Refuge. Calves must stick close to their moms during the first months of their lives in order to receive enough protein and fatty-rich milk to strengthen them, allowing for hundreds of miles of travel with the herd in the first year of their life.

iLCP hosts events and expeditions to help iLCP Fellows connect with the organization’s Conservation Partners. Together, they produce images that illustrate the need to protect the world’s most special places, species and cultures.

When using the sails to navigate to the fishing grounds the fishermen do not have to bear the heavy cost of motor fuel, so they could fish less to make the needed profit.

iLCP also licenses the work of its Fellows to media, policy makers, conservation partners and more. The organization manages its massive library through PhotoShelter for Brands, giving stakeholders an easy way to find and license the perfect image for a story.

We went behind scenes with iLCP to learn:

  • How iLCP organizes a massive collection of conservation imagery
  • How this library has a powerful ripple effect on our environment
  • How iLCP licenses the work of its Fellows, like National Geographic photographers Jodi Cobb and Florian Schulz
