Podcast 10 – Aaron Gekoski

On the dangerous end of conservation, environmental photojournalist Aaron Gekoski talks to Newton & Coe about his work and life in photography

There’s another side to wildlife conservation and that’s where photographer Aaron Gekoski plies his trade. He is an internationally-acclaimed environmental photojournalist and film-maker, specialising in human-animal conflict.

Aaron (also known as Bertie to his friends) focuses primarily on Man’s complex relationship with Nature. Over the past decade he has taken an in-depth look at: Mozambique’s shark finning crisis, Borneo’s last remaining ‘Sea Gypsies’, orangutan tourism, Cambodia’s ‘hero rats’, Madagascar’s ‘tortoise mafia’, West Africa’s voodoo trade, Namibia’s annual seal cull, East Timor’s crocodile whisperers, and more.
