Another favorite from last year, and one that always will be, was the quiet trust this mama bear showed me as she nursed her cubs nearby for hours that day.

It always amazes me how quickly a change in scenery can turn an apex predator into the underdog. In the open water, belugas can satisfy their curiosity while using the vast expanse as their greatest defence.

I often get asked if my images are real; if the flowers are really that purple, if the bears are often that calm. Well if you were wondering here is a little video from my most famous image. Happy Friday!

For a short time each summer, parts of the Canadian Arctic turn green and fill with wildflowers, creating a completely different backdrop for these bears. Seeing a polar bear wandering through the flowers almost always feels unreal, no matter how many times you see it.

One of the more fast-paced wildlife moments we witnessed in Antarctica, watching a pod of B2 orcas hunting a penguin. The coordination, speed, and intelligence between them was incredible to watch unfold in real time. Something that stood out was seeing them share such a small prey item, at one point you can see almost every mouth on it, moving cohesively.

It’s been a long time since I’ve filmed wildlife only with a GoPro, but man, it felt good to be back to such a light setup. I know my fellow photographers and videographers will get this feeling.

One of the highlights of my time in Cozumel, crystal clear water, incredible diving, and such an amazing experience with the @aquasafaricozumel team. Everyone was so welcoming and knowledgeable, truly a great experience from start to finish.

If you’re staying at Cozumel Palace, I’d definitely recommend adding this to your trip!

First time diving in Cozumel with the amazing @aquasafaricozumel team. Incredible visibility and encounters with turtles, stingrays, and nurse sharks. Huge thanks to the crew for making the experience so smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Easy to see why so many people keep coming back to dive here.

All underwater photos were shot on a GoPro.

This is the exact song I imagined playing in Mpandu’s head when he spotted the drone and snuck over to investigate while we were filming.

Did you know polar bears can swim for hours at a time—sometimes covering more than 60 miles in a single stretch using their powerful front paws to navigate icy Arctic waters?

Today we feature two remarkable images of polar bears by Andy Mann (@andy_mann) and Martin Gregus (@mywildlive), both included in our global campaign, The Nature of Hope: The World Jane Goodall Inspired, created in partnership with @Vital.Impacts and the @JaneGoodallInst.

Andy reflects, “I remember lowering my camera for a moment, overwhelmed by the weight of it all: the fragility, the power, the undeniable truth that I was witnessing something vanishing. In that instant, the story stopped being about the thrill of the chase or the beauty of the image—it became about responsibility.”

Polar bears are highly intelligent, curious animals uniquely adapted to life on Arctic sea ice. As sea ice continues to decline due to warming temperatures, their survival is increasingly impacted by a rapidly changing environment. These images invite both admiration and awareness, and a reminder that protecting fragile ecosystems requires continued attention and action.

Some of the strongest stories in the wild start with mothers.

Photographers like @amivitale have shown that conservation isn’t just about animals, it’s about people, communities, and the future we’re building together. Through @vital.impacts, that message doesn’t just stay in photos but spreads. Prints, storytelling, and a global network of creatives turning attention into real funding for conservation on the ground. That ripple effect matters. Awareness becomes action, action becomes protection.

Out here, you see it in a different form. Mothers teaching, protecting, shaping what comes next in ways that don’t need words.

Happy Mother’s Day, to the ones raising the wild, and the ones working to protect it.

Growing up I spent much, if not all of my childhood reading national geographic and watching David Attenborough. I dreamt that one day I would get to live the behind the scenes moments and travel the world, then it 2023 I got to work on a very special film narrated by the one and only David Attenborough. This was not just a dream of a little kid coming to fruition, but a dream made possible by a man who has inspired the world. Happy 100th birthday Sir David Attenborough, may you bless us with another 100 more!
