在过去的几十年里，摄影已成为生物多样性及其保护主流化的重要工具。如今，几乎不可能找到任何不包含至少几张照片的保护宣传或营销材料。这种对摄影材料的重视是有道理的，因为有证据表明照片可以对我们对自然的看法、态度甚至行为产生重要影响（Kalof、Zammit-Lucia 和 Kelly 2011；Myers Jr.，2006）。这方面的例子包括塞拉俱乐部 (Sierra Club) 在美国建立世界上第一个保护区的努力； 《国家地理》对生态学家 Michael Fay 穿越刚果盆地的“Megatransect”徒步旅行的报道；或最近媒体报道的印度那加兰邦大规模捕杀阿穆尔隼的事件（Dalvi 和 Sreenivasan，2012 年；Myers Jr.，2006 年）。这些令人鼓舞的成果催生了“保护摄影”领域的创建，并形成了国际保护摄影师联盟等组织，专门致力于传播生物多样性保护的必要性（Myers Jr.，2006）
Over the last few decades, photography has become a crucial tool in the mainstreaming of biodiversity and its conservation. Today, it would be almost impossible to find any conservation outreach or marketing materials that do not include at least a few photographs. This em-phasis on photographic material is well justified, as there is evidence that photographs can have an important im-pact in our perceptions, attitudes and even behaviour to-wards nature (Kalof, Zammit-Lucia and Kelly 2011; Myers Jr., 2006). Examples of this are the efforts of the Sierra Club to establish some of the world’s first pro-tected areas in the USA; National Geographic’s coverage of the “Megatransect” trek by ecologist Michael Fay across the Congo basin; or the recent media reports on the large scale killing of Amur Falcons in the of Nagaland, India (Dalvi and Sreenivasan, 2012; Myers Jr., 2006). Such encouraging outcomes have lead to the creation of the field of “conservation photography” and to the forma-tion of organizations such as the International League of Conservation Photographers, who work specifically to disseminate the need for biodiversity conservation (Myers Jr., 2006)
