Tim Lamanさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Tim LamanInstagram)「photo by @TimLaman. Happy New Year friends! For a little inspiration today, I’m sharing a favorite winter image of a pair of Japan’s Red-crowned Cranes performing a duet. Considered an auspicious symbol in Japan, cranes also have a lot of meaning for all of us who believe in the importance of protecting nature. Their sheer elegance and beauty is unsurpassed, and I don’t think anyone would want to see them disappear from the face of the earth. But they almost did! They are an example of a conservation success in Japan, where their population has been brought back from near extermination in the early 1900’s to a healthy breeding population today through human determination and effort. The challenges that face us to protect nature are many, but I believe we are up to the challenge if we strive together. Thanks for joining me on my journey as my cameras become our “windows” to see wildlife in some of the remote corners of the world that you may not get to yourselves. Your interest and support make it all worthwhile, and I believe that together, we can spread awareness and make a difference. Here’s to all the possibilities that lie ahead in the New Year for all of us. Lets make it a great one! #inspiration #cranes #redcrownedcranes #Japan #NewYears2020 PS> I’ve revamped my website with a lot more information about my projects and with new galleries of my work. You can also read all my past Wildlife Diaries newsletter posts archived there, and see a lot more behind-the-scenes content. Please enjoy! www.timlaman.com (link in bio)」1月2日 23時49分
