Photo by @amivitale. Students at Ewaso Primary school listen to @lionlandscapes researcher Thomas Mojong teach them about lions outside of @loisaba_conservancy in Laikipia, northern Kenya. Learning about lion ecology, research and management, and how to better protect livestock from lion attacks will help these students become champions for lions within the community and encourage them to seek the means to co-exist with lions.
To learn more, follow @lionlandscapes, @loisaba_conservancy, @nature_africa, @peregrinefund and @tusk_org who are working together to promote coexistence between humans and lions for the benefit of people and nature in northern Kenya.

What is that thing he’s holding?

Did you know in advance of the show, how Ganni would use your images?

If so, what was your reasoning for thinking this was okay – and what have you learnt since that shows you understand why it was not? What steps are you taking to better understand this problematic dynamic/‘aesthetic’? How much (exact amount) of your fee has gone *directly* to the people in the photos? If none, why not and what will you do to get the money directly to them?

Why have you not yet put out a statement disavowing Ganni’s capitalistic exploitation of Black and Brown people, and your role in it as part of this show?

I have followed your work for a while so, like many, am alarmed to see your images presented in this way. As is understandable, many people feel harmed by it, so I look forward to hearing your full-throated apology and to hearing about what reparations you will be making.
Accountability and listening are the best way forward. People will respect it, if you take that path. 🌱
