In the Liwonde National Park, Malawi - photograph by David Chancellor @chancellordavid for the @thestmagazine. I am utterly blown away by the beauty of this park, and in awe of the selfless work being done here by African Parks Rangers @africanparksnetwork The task facing them is enormous, and yet they continue to push pack the ever increasing tide of poaching with great sensitivity and strength. I'd ask you to look at this image and then the following images I'll post that document the new trend in setting fire to this precious ecosystem; raising it to the ground so that wildlife can be more easily seen, and releasing dogs onto the burned ground who then hunt and pursue the wildlife until it's finally exhausted and slaughtered. Thanks to the ST @thestmagazine and in particular Russell O'Connell, the ST's director of photography @iameye for giving me the opportunity to look at this for them, and of course @africanparksnetwork who I salute for your extraordinary work across the continent. Truly humbled #africa #malawi #stoppoaching #stopthetrade #elephant #ivory #rhino #conserving #conservation #fightingextinction #everydayextinction @kinetic_six @forrangers #endwildlifecrime #stoptheburn
