ENDANGERED EYES

October 2009 | Kruger National Park, South Africa

A close-up of a sleeping African wild dog, its eyes marked by a haunting sadness. Though surrounded by its pack, the focus falls on this one face... soft, vulnerable, aware. As one of the world’s most endangered mammals, the African wild dog cannot survive alone. Their strength lies in unity, in movement, in the heartbeat of the pack. And somehow, in this moment, it was as if it knew their numbers were dwindling.
