Thomas D. Mangelsen is one of the most influential nature photographers in the world. His images, treasured as collectible fine art, are known for their awe-inspiring portrayals of wildlife and natural landscapes. Like Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter and others who came before him, Mangelsen has explored Earth’s wildest regions, carrying on the photographic tradition of bearing witness.

Guided by a deep conservation ethic, Mangelsen is legendary for his advocacy in seeking protection of rare and imperiled species. “People sometimes don’t understand what the big deal is if we lose one species of salamander or the California gnatcatcher. What’s one bird, or one insect? These animals, even the most seemingly insignificant ones, are a barometer of the planet’s health and a product of eons of evolution, just as we are. If one disappears, a food source for an entire species may vanish. We are on that chain, we are all linked in nature, interdependent on one another in ways we may not yet be able to imagine.”

Among the critical recognition Mangelsen has received is being named Conservation Photographer of the Year by Nature’s Best Photography and he appeared on Jane Goodall’s “Heroes of the Animal Planet.” He also has been honored numerous times for his conservation work, spoken before large audiences and been featured on radio and television programs.
