Earth Day

Since the birth of Nature First on Earth Day in 2019, the United Kingdom has had an incredibly turbulent relationship with its countryside, National Parks, and wild spaces. Now, more than ever, photographers in the United Kingdom (including those who choose to visit our Isles) should strive to follow the Nature First and Leave No Trace principles and set the right examples for others whom they might know or influence.

Here at Nature First, every day is a day for prioritizing and celebrating the earth as we work alongside our partners, ambassadors, members, and dedicated volunteers to bring awareness to the impact of photography on wildlife and wildlands and promote the role of photographers as stewards of nature.

Het zal niemand verbazen dat Nature First is opgericht op Earth Day (Dag van de Aarde) in 2019. Het belang van de natuur plaatsen boven het belang van de foto ligt in het verlengde van het voornemen om goed te zorgen voor onze planeet en het inzetten op duurzaamheid.

That Nature First chose to launch on Earth Day 2019 should surprise no one. The commitment to photograph our natural world whilst putting the importance of nature foremost in our priorities is an extension of the commitment to be a steward to our earth and to sustainability.

Am 22. April ist der Tag, an dem wir die Erde ehren und uns aktiv zu ihrem Schutz bekennen. Überall auf der Welt kommen die Menschen zusammen, um auf die Belange der Umwelt aufmerksam zu machen. Vor drei Jahren, am Tag der Erde 2019 wurde Nature First als internationale Initiative für verantwortungsbewusste Naturfotografie gegründet. Heute hat Nature First Mitglieder überall auf der Welt.

We honor Earth and pledge ourselves to its protection. People all over the world join forces in activities to raise awareness for our environment.

Three years ago, on Earth Day 2019 Nature First was launched as an international initiative for responsible nature photography and it has spread all over the world since then.
