The difference just 4 years can make when land is released from overgrazing.

Nothing was planted here: all these native trees, wildflowers, etc, came naturally, along with loads of butterflies, birds, + other animal life.

THIS is how we reverse nature loss. #Rewilding 🌍

Great to see these photos out in the wild!
Over the course of a year, we teamed with Will-Burrard-Lucas, a UK-based photographer, and Nouabalé-Ndoki National Park to capture images of Endangered mammals for the first time in high definition with his Camtraptions camera trap system.
