Humans and nature are intimately linked in almost all aspects of life and conservation. People rely on nature's benefits and services, which can sustain their basic needs. Humans are integral for promoting and implementing sustainable conservation or through poor practices having detrimental effects on biodiversity and the environment.  

Modern day conservation science is increasingly engaging with people in co-management of nature to ensure long-term success of initiatives. We feel people’s actions, stories and circumstances are as important for conservation as nature itself. Here we try to reflect on this through the medium of photography.
