On the occasion of the Vital Impacts Annual Print Initiative, running from November 3rd to December 24th, 2025, Jane Goodall’s signed prints — along with 60 images from internationally acclaimed environmental photographers — will be available for purchase. The initiative offers an alternative to traditional gifts, supporting youth education, wildlife protection, and community-based conservation.

Self Portrait. In her early days at Gombe, Dr. Jane Goodall spent many hours sitting on a high peak with binoculars or a telescope, searching the forest below for chimpanzees. She took this photo of herself with a camera fastened to a tree branch. This photo is available hand signed by Dr. Jane Goodall herself, as well as without a signature. Says Dr. Goodall, “I was really excited to see that that photo of me looking out at the valley at Gombe with my trusty lightweight telescope was chosen. It was taken in, I think, 1962. I was on my own, very high up in the hills and I thought what a great photo this would make.” “I had to find a place where there was a tree that was just right for balancing the camera. I had to set up the tripod and fiddle about until I had the tripod and the imagined image of me framed just right. That was in the days before digital so I had to wait a long time before I got the results back from National Geographic. I was pretty proud of myself. I love that picture.” Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) and UN Messenger of Peace, is a world-renowned ethologist and activist inspiring greater understanding and action on behalf of the natural world.

Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, Jane Goodall has inspired generations through her work grounded in hope and in the belief that a better world is possible. As Ami Vitale, National Geographic photographer and founder of Vital Impacts, noted, “Jane taught us that protecting our planet begins with love, respect, and truly listening: to animals, to nature, and to one another. She reminded us that every act of care, no matter how small, matters, and that compassion has the power to change the world. Jane’s spirit—joyful, fearless, and endlessly curious—lives on in every person she inspires, and in every effort made to protect life on this planet.”

A Lost Place Home. Print - 25cm x 20cm on Hahnemuhle Pearl Edition of 20 (plus 1 artists proof) Print - 50cm x 40cm on Hahnemuhle Pearl Edition of 10 (plus 1 artists proof) “This work is a very personal reaction to the climate emergency, in particular to the Australian fires which almost destroyed my family home. Although we have not experienced the ferocity of the 2019/2020 bushfires this year, the threat is ever present. This work uses my own archival images, and, through painting, scratching, and reworking, reimagines the landscapes of my childhood home, now with the threat of environmental devastation. The interference of my brushstrokes on the prints became a mirror of human intervention in nature, my own hand attempting to control the uncontrollable.” Aletheia Casey is a photographic artist based between Sydney and London. During the last 12 years Aletheia has published and worked with The Guardian, The Sunday Times Magazine, The Financial Times Magazine, BBC London and BBC World, Australian Associated Press, BBC Wales, SBS Television, and various international publications.

Tiny Mountain. As I studied a slice of agate I found a snow capped peak hidden inside a 1/2 inch square. I never cease to be amazed at how the smallest designs in nature mimic grand vistas. As a conservation and natural history photographer, Jon McCormack hopes that his images convince humans that nature is worth fighting for. In addition to photography I am also actively involved in conservation and social good organizations. I am a member of The Explorer’s Club, a founding board member of Sealegacy, and co-founder of The Kilgoris Project.Jon McCormack

Arctic Tern. An Arctic Tern in front of the Monaco glacier in Liefdefjorden, at the northwest tip of Svalbard in the high Arctic. The beautiful and tiny 113-gram Arctic Tern is a super impressive bird! Each year, it makes the longest migration of any animal in the world, traveling between breeding sites in the northern Arctic and survival/moult areas in the Antarctic pack‐ice zone. That practically means flying from the North Pole to the South Pole and back – each year! Miniature transmitters have revealed that they follow zigzagging routes and rack up to 71,000 kilometres annually! Arnfinn Johansen is a wildlife photographer based in Norway. He is a member of the Norwegian Nature Photographers Association and the founder of Oltepesi Tented Safari Camp / oltepesi com – a specialised camp for wildlife photographers in the Maasai Mara Kenya. Arnfinn’s work has been recognised in numerous international competitions and is widely displayed in exhibitions and publications.Arnfinn Johansen

Gorillas. Limited Edition. 2 of 5. C type, no border. Life on earth began 542 million years ago with the Paleozoic ( early life ) period. This was followed by the Mesozoic ( middle life ) ending with the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. The Cenozoic ( age of mammals ) takes us to the present day. “Eremozoic” is the named suggested by biologist E. O. Wilson for the current period, more commonly referred to as the “Anthropocene” ( age of man ), Wilsons suggestion implies an age of “loneliness” reflecting the upcoming biological age after the sixth great extinction. Today, in the evolutionary blink of an eye humans have come to dominate the planet and our relationship with the natural world has fundamentally shifted. Up until the agricultural revolution humans were directly and intimately connected to nature and entirely dependent on wild flora and fauna for our well being and survival. Today this connection is severed, and the natural world has become profoundly diminished. Our perception is that wildlife is something other, apart from humanity. It happens elsewhere, in far away lands, in nature documentaries, zoos or safari parks. This impression is fictional and bears little resemblance to reality, both because wildlife barely exists at all in this harmonious state, and also because despite our perceived separation, we are still very much bound to the laws of the natural world. The images in this series reflect this by using natural history specimens and dioramas, themselves a fictional human construct, and adding layers and altering and exaggerating colours to highlight the artificial and nature of what we are seeing.

Flower Bears. olar Bears Wilma, Bamm Bamm, and Pebbles sleep amongst the fireweed, resting in a bed they made for themselves that morning this trio was our #1 favourite during the expedition in 2020, which resulted in the series 33 Days among the Bears.

Shadows at Sunrise. The Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming is not only the largest hot spring in the United States but one of the most magnetic places to view from above. However, taking pictures while flying a plane is rarely straightforward, given the windy conditions and the spring’s location in a high-elevation, mountainous corner of the park. It is equally as turbulent below ground: Yellowstone contains half of all the world’s known geothermal features, with more than 10,000 examples, and also has the world’s largest concentration of geysers, more than 500 or two thirds of all those on the planet. According to recent studies, there is a Super Volcano under the entire park. Yellowstone holds a special place in my heart. It was there that I experienced my initial bolt of energy and inspiration to pursue photography back in 2014. This year Yellowstone National Park, the world’s first national park celebrates 150 years since its founding in 1872. This image was taken at sunrise while flying my single-engine 1976 Piper Warrior plane. Jassen Todorov is the Grand Prize Winner of the 2018 National Geographic Photo Contest.

Ornithography #128 Common Starlings, Ebro Delta, Catalonia. Available in 3 sizes: Printed area: 21.4 inches x 11.3 inches Edition of 3. Printed area: 46 inches x 24.3 inches Edition of 5. Printed area: 78.2 inches x 41.3 inches Edition of 2. Ornithographies arises from the concern for capturing those unnoticed moments and from the interest in questioning the limits of human perception. This project focuses on birds, in order to capture in a single time frame, the shapes they generate when flying, making visible the invisible. Ornitographies is a balance between art and science; a nature-based dissemination project and a visual poetry exercise but above all, an invitation to perceive the world with the same curious and innocent look of the child we once were. In 2012 Xavi Bou embarked on Ornitographies; photography inspired by his curiosity about the invisible patterns traced by birds in flight.Xavi Bou
