🌍 Krisenzonen – Berichterstattung von der vordersten Front des Naturschutzes

Seit fast zwei Jahrzehnten steht der britische Fotojournalist Aaron Gekoski an der Frontlinie des Artenschutzes. Seine Kamera ist Zeugin eines weltweiten Konflikts zwischen Mensch und Tier – von den Voodoo-Märkten Westafrikas bis zu den dunklen Seiten des Wildtier-Tourismus in Südostasien.

Mit eindringlichen Bildern und persönlichen Erlebnissen erzählt er von Orten, an denen Tiere gejagt, gehandelt und ausgebeutet werden – und von der Kraft der Fotografie, Bewusstsein zu schaffen und Veränderung anzustoßen.

📍 Lünen | Heinz-Hilpert-Theater
📅 24.–26. Oktober 2025
🎟️ Vortrag im Rahmen des GDT Internationales Naturfotofestival Lünen 2025

🌏 Conflict zones: reporting from the frontline of conservation

For nearly two decades, British photojournalist Aaron Gekoski has been on the frontlines of conservation. His camera bears witness to a global conflict between humans and animals – from the voodoo markets of West Africa to the dark side of wildlife tourism in Southeast Asia.

Through powerful images and first-hand stories, he reveals places where animals are hunted, traded, and exploited – and shows how photography can raise awareness and inspire real change.

So nice to be working on a feel-good story for once! Currently back at to see the work they’re doing to rescue and rehabilitate orangutans…like this baby, who’s suffering with an acute bacterial infection and is currently being nursed back to health by the team of carers here.

For anyone who’s interested in conservation and animal welfare, these guys really set the benchmark in terms of standards.

A trader displays products that he sells on markets in Iquitos, Peru. Iquitos has become a hub for the illegal wildlife trade.

Animal parts - such as jaguar skulls and fangs - are popular with tourists in this part of the world. They are targeted while on spiritual quests and during Ayahuasca ceremonies.

Wearing a jaguar fang necklace, they are told, will provide them with protection and allow them to possess the traits of a jaguar.

In reality, all it does is fuel poaching and contribute to the loss of an icon.

Our documentary, premiering in June, tackles a giant issue: what has become of our relationship with big cats?

I will not stop campaigning against places like and for so long as they keep exploiting orangutans. I will not rest until we get these shows closed down.

Large tour companies make billions each year. They don’t need to promote elephant abuse. Choose wisely. Never ride elephants or visit venues with riding, selfies, tricks or any direct elephant-human contact.

Blue whales and leopards...who's in?!

I'm leading a tour for Insider Divers to the blue whale hot spot of Sri Lanka. This is one of the best places on Earth to see the largest animal on Earth! Last year the guys also had amazing s***m whale encounters.

Along with this we will be doing an extension to see leopards at the stunning Yala National Park.

If you'd be interested in joining this tour at the end of March, let me know!
