Mammals

From the vast African plains to the dense forests of Asia, mammals hold a unique place in our shared imagination. Our distant cousins, with whom we share a complex evolutionary history, display fascinating cognitive and social abilities. Whether solitary or living in structured clans, they demonstrate an adaptive intelligence that has allowed them to conquer every environment.

However, the survival of large mammals is now a constant struggle. Habitat loss and poaching threaten the balance of entire populations. To photograph these animals in their intimacy is to immortalize a gaze, a posture, or a social interaction, while serving as a reminder that protecting these iconic species is inseparable from the preservation of our own ecosystems.
