Virginia's Endangered, Threatened, and Endemic Species
a compilation of photographs highlighting Virginia's biodiversity and the importance of conservation in our state
Virginia is my home; it is also home to over 70 federally threatened and endangered species, and over 140 endemic plants and animals. Species are going extinct at an alarming rate, largely due to the development and fragementation of habitat. It's critical that we act to protect and conserve remaining habitat, but how can you feel inspired to protect something you've never even seen?
This is why I have set out to photograph Virginia's endemic and threatened species and tell their story, hoping to bring attention and more conservation to each of them. I hope you'll follow along in support of Virginia's unique biodiversity.
Special thanks to Sally Entrekin, Virginia Tech's Global Change Center/MAOP Scholarship, the Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources, and Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for making this project possible.
I am a senior in Wildlife Conservation at Virginia Tech with a passion for storytelling through photography. All photography conducted with care; species sought out with guidance from conservation experts, and returned where they were found.
