Conservation photographer Katherine Feng presented a program on how she approaches conservation photography to educate the public about wildlife, their habitat and people’s efforts to protect them. She works closely with the different nature reserves in China where she donates her images for conservation purposes.
Katherine’s presentation will feature photos of China’s giant and lesser pandas as well as the lesser-known snub-nosed monkeys and the critically endangered black-crested gibbons and white-headed langurs.
Katherine Feng is a retired veterinarian who devotes her photography to protecting China’s endangered species and their habitat. Katherine is a Senior Fellow of the prestigious International League of Conservation Photography.
Katherine spent 6-9 months a year for 4-1/2 years in China’s Wolong Nature Reserve documenting the work of staff and researchers to save the giant pandas from extinction. Her images have been published internationally in calendars, books, National Geographic, Paris Match and numerous conservation magazines. Her giant panda images are featured in the children’s book, ‘Panda Kindergarten’.
