The wilderness can be unforgiving, but it does not discriminate. It has been watching us, those who came before us, and those who will come after us. It is a quiet observer; it does not interfere but penalizes those who do.
Even after we have razed acres of forest, the wilderness finds a way to thrive in unexpected places—through cracked concrete, tar, brick, or steel. Only a handful care to understand its significance—and those who do—they go against the norm to preserve it. After all, a patch of land and some rain is all we need. Among those championing the preservation of the wild is Mital Patel, a wildlife photographer whose life changed in 2017 during a trip to Africa. "Standing amongst vast landscapes and observing majestic wildlife connected me to something profound," he tells us. "It’s truly special to stand in landscapes that so few have had the privilege to experience firsthand. ". thephoblographer.com
