Wildlife takes over BCE Place
Roger Hooper, founder and owner of Hoopers Gallery in London, England, is a dedicated wildlife photographer and supporter of WWF. For many years, Roger has taken stunning images of wildlife from around the world. He has also photographed many WWF projects on guided trips to personally see how WWF works with local communities to protect and maintain threatened species and habitats.
This year, the collection captures far more than just wildlife. Instead it reflects the delicate partnership of people and animals in a shared environment.
Roger explains, “This exhibit reflects the critical balance between people, wildlife and the environment, which is at the heart of WWF’s work. Much more than just an organization working to protect endangered species, WWF strives to end the rapid destruction of the planet’s natural environment, and help build a future in which people live in harmony with nature.”
“The state of our environment affects everyone, and we cannot hope to ensure the survival of our planet unless we tackle global threats like climate change. My photos aim to provide a glimpse of the beauty that exists in the world and why we should do all we can to protect it.”
Mike Russill, President and CEO, WWF-Canada, says: “WWF promotes lasting solutions to the challenge of balancing human needs and environmental sustainability around the world. Roger Hooper’s images provide us with a glimpse of the beauty our majestic planet has to offer and why WWF’s work to preserve it is so important – here in Canada and around the world. We all share the same planet and we can all share the solutions. By purchasing one of Roger Hooper’s photos you will be helping WWF-Canada continue our work.”
