Photographer Nick Brandt returns to Amboseli in 2010, in the middle of Africa’s elephant poaching crisis, and discovers that many of the elephants he had previously photographed have been killed by poachers. Elephants were being poached due to a lack of resources in Kenya and the absence of effective enforcement across the border in Tanzania. Unable to watch the destruction of this extraordinary ecosystem and its animals, Nick returns to America, establishes Big Life Foundation, and raises the organization’s seed funding from a collector of his work.
