01 / observation
“The animal welfare advocates typically have less sympathy for the predators because they, in turn, kill other animals.”
02 / uncertainty
“I don’t know if it worked, but I thought it was a creative idea in China’s effort to get these pandas off the endangered species list.”
03 / uncertainty
“I’m not a politician, so I don’t know, but I get the sense that it is symbolic of what’s happening between our nations.”
04 / evaluation
“I realized that sometimes it was getting those images back into the international dialogue that was important, and that’s when I needed to stay.”
05 / commitment
“Maybe we will, but I think that there’s value more for the species that are currently here.”
06 / commitment
“I will say, I do think that is, in some cases, what differentiates us because, as human beings, we have to kill to survive.”
07 / belief
“We still have a ton of work to do, but I think that in today’s world, there are probably more female photographers and journalists out there graduating from schools than there are men.”
08 / belief
“Now, I understand that in the 1960s, the survival rate for panda babies was pretty low. I think you mentioned once 30 percent, and right now, it’s about 90 percent.”
09 / belief
“I think that you will see slightly different missions and work coming out of both sides of that institution.”
10 / belief
“I think that the first few talks that I gave were terrible, but then with a little bit of confidence and realizing the beauty in these stories and the power of sharing them, that it could inspire so many other people.”
11 / evaluation
“I really pay attention, and it doesn’t matter where you are, but you need to take the time to first get the blessings of the people you’re photographing, let them understand why you’re there, what you’re doing, and be sensitive.”
12 / recommendation
“Now, you have a movie on your homepage, which I would recommend to everyone, where you’re spending a lot of time photographing and filming rhinos.”
13 / prediction
“I think that we will see a northern white rhino baby in our lifetime, and I suspect it will be to get back there quickly to witness the birth of a northern white rhino baby.”
14 / evaluation
“I’ve been working with them now for over 15 years. But I think the saddest part of this story is the loss of a wild — there are no more wild northern white rhinos.”
15 / evaluation
“I was very suspicious because very often people use these headlines to get attention, and you have to read through the headlines and really understand what is happening.”
16 / prediction
“I think that both camera companies and the companies like Adobe who do post-processing manipulation are working to be able to figure out how we can create these stamps on the images to know they’re authentic.”
17 / evaluation
“The truth is, I think the most important thing is that they did a great job of making the world fall in love with pandas, and more importantly, the people living closest to the pandas.”
18 / preference
“I think, Tyler, you may know this, as somebody who’s had the privilege of traveling as much as you have, that we need more understanding, truly listening to each other and understanding the people and the things that are different than what we know.”
19 / recommendation
“We, as Westerners, need to start listening to some of the knowledge that is right there with the people living closest to these creatures.”
20 / evaluation
“Almost always, it is the demands placed on our ecosystem that drive conflict and human suffering. That was my big shift in understanding that it was important to talk about the conflicts, but it was equally important to talk about what we’re doing to this planet.”
21 / evaluation
“The reason that some species are still here with us today is because of scientists seeing into the future, and a lot of great conservation efforts are happening because of zoos.”
