What stories of the "Wild" have I encountered? #cumbriawildlifemedia 1/4

The wild is undoubtedly a beautiful place, where one can experience the world in it's most natural beauty, a place where wildlife can roam free of major human contact. This beckons the question though, is it really a safe place to explore? 2/4

There are countless stories about people going into the wild and suffering the consequences, whether it be getting lost, stuck or worse. The story of Aron Lee Ralston is one such case, a mountaineer who suffered a terrible accident in the wild who lived to tell the tale. 3/4

The negatives of the animal trade
#cumbriawildlifemedia . 1/4

Despite the global conservation efforts, there is still much harm that humans cause to wildlife, such as ivory and fox hunting, shark fin culling and other dastardly trades which involve innocent wildlife. 2/4

Elephants and Rhinos have been hunted for their ivory for hundreds of years, their distribution becoming critical as of recently, and for what? To be sold for outdated medicines? 3/4

How, if at all, do our relationships with wildlife change out in nature? #cumbriawildlifemedia . 1/4

As a wildlife photographer, I feel there are many differences between a wild species and a captive species both behavioural and physically. 2/4

There's a certain thrill to being able to learn and track a certain species in the wild to the point where you are able to witness it as if you were invisible, something that simply cannot be replicated in an enclosed environment. 3/4

What draws people into the "wild"? #cumbriawildlifemedia 1/4.

I feel we should start with the word "wild" itself, it can mean a host of different things, moreso crazy/untamed through the saying "that's wild" or a vast habitat deprived of human contact. 2/4

Studies during the height of the Covid pandemic concluded that most people, whether they knew it or not, benefitted from being in nature mentally, and during the lockdown a majority remarked missing nature and the outside. 3/4
