So Many Ways to Support iLCP! 
As we approach the year's end, we hope you'll remember iLCP in your
year-end charitable giving plan and while you do your holiday shopping. 
There are so many ways to help us meet our mission!

1. Year End Gift Giving

Support our work with a donation to our year-end campaign.
We have just a little over halfway to go in meeting our goal of $30,000.
Every little bit helps and there are some great prizes to earn! 

2. Give While You Get

When doing your holiday shopping online at Amazon, keep us in mind!
 Amazon Smile will donate a percentage of your eligible purchases to iLCP after you select us as the charitable organization of your choice. It's the same as Amazon, only better!

 
3. Give Amazing Prints as Holiday Presents
 
Don't look any further for your Holiday gifts!  Take a look at our selection of prints from our world-class photographers.  Some prints are even signed!  Thanks to the generosity
of our Fellows, all proceeds will fully support our work and programs! 
 
iLCP's 10th Anniversary Celebrated in Origin Magazine!
iLCP was founded 10 years ago when a group of 40 world-class nature and wildlife photographers met at the 8th World Wilderness Congress in Anchorage, Alaska and decided that the time had come for an organization like iLCP that could bring their conservation photography to light and that would help connect their work with conservation groups working on critical and imminent conservation campaigns.

We are thrilled that our 10th Anniversary is being celebrated in this month's edition of Origin Magazine in an article that features images from many of the expeditions we have undertaken over the last 10 years with conservation partners all around the world.

Each image is accompanied by a quote from the photographer, a personal reflection on the expedition and/or why the image featured means so much to them.  To read an online version of the article, please Click Here.

To purchase a hard-copy of the magazine, look for the Mark Ruffalo or Bernie Sanders covers at your local Whole Foods or other Origin Magazine retailer!

We would like to extend a very warm and heartfelt thanks to Maranda Pleasant , Founder and Editor of Origin, and her entire team at the magazine for making this happen.  What a great birthday present for iLCP.  We hope it will bring the importance of our work to many new readers and audiences. 

THANK YOU!

The wildly successful initiative " Racing Extinction" by Louis Psihoyos includes the work of iLCP Senior Fellows David Doubilet and Joel Sartore and Associate Fellows Paul Hilton and  Shawn Heinrichs. The film and the accompanying public outreach are really getting the conversation going and minds thinking about the threats of the 6th Extinction!
Joel Sartore's photo of his own photo of a lion projected on St. Peter's Basilica at the Vatican. Amazing!!
