Tim Lamanさんのインスタグラム写真 - (Tim LamanInstagram)「Photos by @TimLaman. My passion for photographing birds-of-paradise first grew from a desire to document some amazing birds that few people have had a chance to see in the wild, and share them with the world in the pages of National Geographic. As I made 30 expeditions to the region where they occur (Papua Indonesia, PNG, and N. Australia) over the past 15 years, I came to realize that they are the best ambassadors for conserving their rain forests, the third largest remaining block of rain forest in the world (after the Amazon and Congo), and thus so important to keep as forest to mitigate global warming and protect biodiversity. The local people of Papua realize that protecting their forest for the birds, and hosting visiting birders and other tourists to see them, is a way for them to receive a livelihood from the forest. So my hope is that my photography and films of these birds can contribute to greater appreciation and thus conservation of Papua’s forest. But at the moment, international travel to Papua is on hold. The local guest-house owners and birding guides have no income. So I’m trying to help in a small way by doing some fundraising here through my bird-of-paradise prints and sending funds directly to the people in Papua. So if you’d like to help and also own a Tim Laman print to brighten your home or workplace, please visit my online store at the link in bio or www.timlamanfineart.com. We offer prices and sizes for all budgets and spaces. These are a few examples from my BoP gallery: 1) Lesser BoP, West Papua, Indonesia. 2) King BoP tail, West Papua, Indonesia. 3) Blue BoP, PNG. #Birdsofparadise #birds #Papua #Indonesia #PN」9月8日 1時12分
