Boran Woman/Blue Madonna⁠⠀ March 1968, Marsabit Hospital⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This portrait of a Boran Woman was taken at the hospital in Marsabit, Kenya where I was visiting my good friend Glenn Cottar in March of 1968. The Artwork first created was painted with blood and ink. Later this was used in a mosaic collaboration with the Franz Mayer of Munich Studio in 2017. The craquelé of the bloodwork resonates in Murano glass cake.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 170th Jubilee Edition, produced in a limited edition of 10, plus 2 artist proofs, @mayerofmunich⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #mosaic #Boranwoman #Madonna #beauty #Kenya⁠ #Marsabit #FranzMayer #BlueMadonna #Bloodwork #ink #limitededition #portrait #mayerofmunicheditions ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

Land’s End, Montauk with Russell Mittermeier and Robin Moore who dropped by on their way to the Southfork Natural History Museum. Their unending commitment to biodiversity and revitalization efforts is truly inspiring. @global_wildlife_conservation ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Their efforts remind me of another environmentalist, Ansel Adams. In June 1981, he wrote to me on conservation efforts. He said, “To offer a bit of solace, a big part of me remains an optimist. We have lived through awful events and awful threats during our century and usually if people work hard enough, things can be turned around.”⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #conservation #wildlife #environment #biology #science #ecology #nature #earth #biodiversity #Montauk #AnselAdams #artisttoartist #fromthearchives #environmentalism #naturalhistory #southforknaturalhistorymuseum #globalwildlifeconservation⁠⠀

Η οικογένειά του επιβεβαίωσε πως ένα άψυχο σώμα που βρέθηκε στο Camp Hero State Park στο Μοντάκ, ήταν εκείνο του διάσημου φωτογράφου. Η τελευταία του εμφάνιση ήταν στις 31 Μαρτίου και οι Αρχές διεξήγαγαν μια εκτεταμένη έρευνα γι’ αυτόν.

"I knew how few Europeans had ever beheld this perfect⁠ creature that I now gazed upon, and how very imperfectly it was still known in Europe. The emotions excited in the mind of a naturalist, who has long desired⁠ to see the actual thing, especially when it is of surpassing rarity and beauty-required the poetic faculty fully to express them. The remote wilderness in which I found myself situated in, an almost unvisited sea, far from the⁠ tracks of ships or navies; the wild luxuriant tropical vegetation which stretched away on every side; the rude and uncultured savages who gathered round me-all had their influence in determining the emotions with which I gazed upon this thing of beauty. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I thought of the long ages of the past during which⁠ successive generations had run their course-year by year being born and living and dying among the dark and gloomy woods with no intelligent eye to gaze upon⁠ their beauty. It seems sad that on the one hand, such creatures should live out their lives, doomed for ages yet to come to hopeless barbarism, while on the other hand, should civilized men ever reach those distant lands and bring moral, intellectual, and physical light into the recesses of these virgin forests, we may be sure that he will so disturb the nicely balanced relations of organic⁠ and inorganic nature as to cause the disappearance and finally the extinction of those very beings whose wonderful structure and beauty he alone is fitted to⁠ appreciate and enjoy." - Alfred Russell Wallace, 1858⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ “The wilderness of only half a century ago, then so completely itself, has been reduced, tree by tree, animal by animal, shadow by shadow, rock by rock, to its last rutted corners. The few remaining spaces have been⁠ infiltrated, divided up, domesticated, deprived of natural systems, denuded of natural processes, systematized, similarized, artificialized, sterilized, commercialized…” Peter Beard ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ A rare Gerenuk, Tiva Lugga, Tsavo North, Kenya, 1965/2015⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #alfredrussellwallace #conservation #art #collage #Kenya #Gerenuk #wildlife #beauty #Africa #nature #inspiration #artwork #ink #photography #fineart

The anniversary of the Apollo mission brings to mind the great discoveries of mankind. The story of Voyager is an epic of human achievement, personal drama and most miraculous success. Launched 16 days apart in Autumn of 1977, the twin Voyager space probes have defied all the odds, survived countless near misses, and 42 years later continue to beam revolutionary information across unimaginable distances. With less computing power than a modern hearing aid, they have unlocked countless secrets of our Solar System on a journey that stands alongside the achievements of Columbus, Gagarin, and Armstrong.⁠ ⁠ “Voyager II left Earth for the planets and the stars and carried with it a golden phonograph record encased in a golden mirrored jacket containing among other things: greetings in 59 human languages…116 encoded pictures [including this croc photo] on our science, our civilization and ourselves.”⁠ ⁠ “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love. We're made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself.” Carl Sagan⁠ ⁠ Murmurs from Earth – 14 Footer from Island of Alia Bay, Lake Rudolf, ultimately sent off on Voyager II, 1965/2006 Gelatin silver print with ink and collage⁠ ⁠ This image was originally published in Eyelids of Morning, The Mingled Destinies of Crocodiles and Men, by Alistair Graham and Peter Beard, a book dedicated to “Heroes, Missionaries and Martyrs, their perils, adventures and achievements.”⁠ ⁠ #Apollo #discovery #CarlSagan #Voyager #space #epicstories #crocodiles #mankind #nasa #naturalhistory #art #bookstagram #Apollo50th #spaceflight #carlsaganquotes #AlistairGraham #PeterBeard #LakeRudolf #FridayMotivation #astrobiologist #cosmos #stars #stardust #creatures #destiny #collage #greatstories #goldenrecord #adventure

I got to go to Africa, for the whole summer of 1955. An⁠ Englishman by the name of Quentin Keynes took me around- he was Charles Darwin's great-grandson. We started out in South Africa, filming black and white rhinos⁠ in Hluhluwe and Umfolozi parks, Zululand, and from there we took the train to Bechuanaland, which got renamed Botswana, and then on to Gorongoza Park in⁠ Portugese East Africa, and finally near Madagascar and Kenya.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 1) Photograph of Quentin Keynes Filming Rhino, a very⁠ dangerous situation, 1955⁠⠀ 2) Aberdare Forest; Ruhuti River Valley, World Record⁠ Class Black Rhino (circa 47" - 48"), 1972⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #rhino #horn #worldrecord #QuentinKeynes⁠⠀ #endangeredspecies #endangered #Darwin #Africa #SouthAfrica #Hluhluwe #Umfolozi #rhinoceros #environmentalism #conservation #biodiversity #biology⁠ #ecology #eco #environment #environmentalist #environmentalscience #nature #savetheplanet #wildlife #AberdareForest #RuhutiRiverValley #Kenya #OntheOriginofSpecies #naturalhistory #Madagascar ⁠

Πάντα περίεργος ακολούθησε τα πάθη του χωρίς περιορισμούς και αντιλαμβανόταν την πραγματικότητα μέσω ενός μοναδικού φακού. Όποιος βρέθηκε στη συντροφιά του, παρασύρθηκε από τον ενθουσιασμό και την ενέργειά που είχε.

Ήταν ένας πρωτοπόρος σύγχρονος καλλιτέχνης που ήταν δεκαετίες μπροστά από την εποχή του στις προσπάθειές του να ηχήσει τον συναγερμό για την περιβαλλοντική καταστροφή. Η οπτική του ευαισθητοποίηση και η στοιχειώδης κατανόηση του φυσικού περιβάλλοντος ενισχύθηκε από τη μακρά παραμονή του στην φύση μαζί με τα “άγρια ελάφια” που αγαπούσε και υπερασπίστηκε. Πέθανε εκεί όπου έζησε: στη φύση. Θα μας λείπει κάθε μέρα», κατέληξε η δήλωση.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

“Wildlife William (Aberdare National Park warden Bill Woodley) allowed me to build a small house in the middle of his great Aberdare rain forest. It was to be a⁠ bivouac bedroom, a diary-studio hideaway… Compared to Lake Rudolf, the scene was perfect, idyllic, sandless, windless, wonderful. I had one door and one window overlooking a natural salt lick on a slightly banked island with the Ruhuti gently flowing on either side… In a Garden of Eden jungle paradise.” ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #ZarasTales #AberdareNationalPark #RuhutiRiverValley⁠ #diaries #hut #studio #paradise #Eden #jungle #rainforest #BillWoodley⁠

”I love every single thing that I did with Salvador Dalí, his energy, and his enthusiasm and his humor, every single thing about him in a totally different way than Warhol. Salvador Dalí for instance could be very serious, could tell you very serious things, particular when he was talking about Picasso or somebody he really admired or anything he really meant. And he was also just so fabulously full of fun and he loved doing these various things that we would concoct. … Dalí was an idea man and he really had so many goddamned ideas by everything. … we got up at 4 in the morning and picketed the Mona Lisa which had been brought to the Metropolitan because Dalí just really wanted us to do it. And we had these Mona Lisas with the heads cut out and stuck our heads in.

Our hearts are so heavy right now. We all hope to find Peter because he’s so meaningful to our lives - as a man, a husband, a father, a grandfather, an artist and a warrior for this planet. We are praying deeply for @zara_beard and Nejma who we hold in our hearts during these difficult times. If there is anything that we can do, say or share, let us be there for you. . As we search for Peter, let's also seek out his wisdom for it is that which he's always sought to expand. The wisdom to look for and fight for this beautiful planet that he loves so deeply. He is a national treasure and friend to many. He means so much to us, this community and the world. Like his wondrous elephants, let us find him having lived for a moment as the beautiful wild sentient beings he adored – and return home to his family. . “Nature is the best thing we’ve got,” he said. . When we wake up, we pray that Peter will be safe and home – that he will continue inspiring us with his love of life, earth, humanity and art. . 'And as this world shrinks and turns and changes in front of your eyes, try and remember that what I’ve put down here is true and that Nature’s truth is always greater, stranger, more complex, and more incredible than mankind’s make-believe.' – Peter Beard @peterbeardart #PeterBeard

The Edge of the World, Uganda, 1966⁠ One of the images from the limited edition Elephant Portfolio, that was donated to Oceana in support of their incredible work on ocean conservation.⁠ ⁠ Dr. Richard Laws a friend of mine, Director, British Antarctic Survey and Former Director, Tsavo Research Project, Kenya wrote this for the Epilogue of the 1977 edition of The End of the Game.⁠ ⁠ “Although the elephant, the whale and homo sapiens appear to be very different from one another, these three wide-ranging species share fundamental characteristics. They are all long-lived. Their longevity of 60-70 years accounts for their having not only similar demographic structures, but also an extended period of childhood, in which the individuals have time to form lasting, closely knit families. Elephant social organization has recently been shown to be remarkably similar to that of man; in fact, the entire ecology of the elephant is now seen to be more similar to that of man than to any other animal. It is therefore not remarkable that man and the elephant are having to face similar and simultaneous crises---like survival.”⁠ @oceana founded in 2001, is the largest international advocacy organization focused solely on ocean conservation. Oceana’s work has yielded immeasurable⁠ results to regulate the damaging effects of climate change through science. Additionally, Oceana is actively working to combat the plague of ocean plastic⁠ pollution. #ecology #elephant #conservation #oceana #oceananygala #biodiversity #oceans #whales #saveouroceans #Africa #Uganda #biology #nature #environment #oceanconservation⁠ #drrichardlaws #atlanticsurvey @susanrockefeller
