the hunt is wonderful but not with
weapons with safe cameras heard
about that famous photo safaris
more than anything in African countries
thanks to them we know the majority
of the species and landscapes of that
continent and have inspired many
people to join the fight for
conservation in countries like india
Canada and Costa Rica among many others
the safaris are being used
photographs to make known
involve people with nature
now imagine those same safaris here
in Mexico with all our flora and
unknown wildlife and forget an image
It has a huge impact as a photographer
of wildlife that does it very well
that’s why photography is so
important to raise awareness
there is a phrase that he considered very
important you can not love what you do not
know is simple if you do not love do not care
and if you do not take care you do not protect but for
to inspire and fall in love with him
enough to protect is not enough
only with showing my work but
you have to go with the stories and
experiences behind each
Photography
and this is where these hunts come in
photographic since a safari
photographic is much more than just
take photos
it’s about getting closer to nature
to involve you reconnect and
learn from it so that you can see the
other beings that inhabit it
this let me tell you that this flight is
an explorer that a tourist to take you
hand in hand on a journey to a new world
such as rainforest humidity or a
desert and that if it were not for wanting
take a hero
that photograph and for the help and
teachings of your guide or a photographer
maybe you will never discover it from the
same way and when you’re waiting
the ideal time for a photograph
life gives you unique moments that
they do not repeat themselves and in the least
expected as this photograph of a
fishing eagle
It took me two years to find it and achieve
the shot
it would seem that it was captured in some
exotic place but what would they think if
I will tell you that I took this image in
xochimilco would be surprised every time
image that leaves its mark and was
incredible the moment we could
approach the eagle for later
see it fly over us we do not give
realize that there is indeed so much
biodiversity and that this can be
around the corner
especially since we already see the
nature as something distant and alien to
we did not have the
existence of this species of eagle in
the area until I learned it thanks to
the photograph and after that moment
confirm again as after
each expedition a person can
feel so excited and transformed
as to want to protect and respect the
environment that surrounds it and also
share not through your photos and
experiences so that more people can
know him and experience how he
it happened to my mom and friends after
accompany me in this adventure but now
let me share some of my work
since in a very short time the only thing that
will be of the urban nature or
wild were photographs
even though they are doing
tremendous efforts to make this change
unfortunately in Mexico there is very
little interest and you appreciate more what
material than the natural but something so
simple how to take pictures can
create a chain of awareness of how
it is no longer necessary to have animals
wild animals to appreciate
not to lock them in zoos in
deplorable conditions and much less
kill them and in a world that moves with
money if there can be room for a
photographic safari be profitable because
not only would it be paid for the cost of
travel but you can also pay
for the food to the master guides of
photography tickets to parks areas and
protected natural reserves and
Accommodations would be in small hotels
or community tourism businesses
or from local people will be counted as something
that can start as a hobby
if you can create a demand for
protect it natural and no longer just
we would be helping to create jobs already
strengthen ecotourism but also
we would help the projects of
conservation and the economy of each
sun with more photographic practices the
conscience and respect for
nature will continue to grow and every time
who see their photos will think of all
the stories behind them and
of how the emotion of being part of a
unparalleled adventure transform them
while helping to create business
sustainable and take care of nature
and to the animals so that future
generations do not know them only to
through photographs
I invite you to take your cameras and
let’s start getting married in our environment
the stories and images of life
wild so that it does not end
thank you very much
[Applause]
