NZPhotographer Issue 25, November 2019

in an attempt to reduce the impact of our workshops
and tours, we joined the Abel Tasman Tree Collective
to fund native tree planting and offset our carbon
footprint. We also care deeply for the places we
visit and the wildlife we photograph as it is important
that we can return to photograph this in future years.
Some of the projects we have been involved in this
year also include adopting 2 hectares on the side of
Lake Rotopounamu in Tongariro National Park and
donating to both the New Zealand Sea Lion Trust and
the West Coast Penguin Trust to support the work they
do to look after these threatened species.
Incentives always help people get up off the sofa and
out to do good, that’s why Peak Design ran a photo
competition at the same time as the beach clean -
a big congratulations to the winner Lambert Laluz (@
capturedby.thelight) and some of the other entries
that are featured on the following pages.
More events like this will be organised by Peak Design
in the future and of course, NZPW with Excio and
NZPhotographer will continue to share the message
of photographers who are raising awareness and
doing good with their photography so if you’re feeling
inspired, ponder for a moment – How do you do good
when you pick up your camera?
