Welcome to the photo-gallery of Ian Redmond, where you can view and order a selection of high quality prints from over three decades of work in wildlife conservation.
Ian Redmond first went to Africa in 1976 to work alongside Dr Dian Fossey, researching and protecting the endangered mountain gorillas of the Virunga Volcanoes. He went on to do the first study of elephants underground, in the spectacular elephant caves of Mount Elgon, Kenya.
In both sites, individuals Ian had come to know by name were killed by poachers supplying the demand for body parts that foreign buyers considered valuable. Digit the gorilla was speared for his skull and hands; Charles, a teenage Elgon tusker, was shot for his ivory.
Ian has worked ever since for the conservation of these and other endangered species in their natural habitat. Research, front-line conservation, UN missions, eco-tourism and film-making have taken him all over the world. Throughout his travels, his trusty camera-bag has been by his side. And now, the pick of three decades of images is being made available as high-quality photographic prints.
Naturally, a percentage of the print price will go to fund vital conservation work, in the hope that there will always be apes, elephants and other amazing wildlife in the dwindling wilderness of Planet Earth.
