Just in time for the holidays, 100 of today’s finest photographers and conservationists have come together. Through Vital Impacts, a non-profit led by award-winning photographer Ami Vitale and visual journalist Eileen Mignoni, they are selling stunning images to support international conservation efforts.

Both limited-edition and open-edition photos are available from respected photographers like Christian Vizl, Shaaz Jung, and Xavi Bou, as well as legendary conservationist Jane Goodall. This exceptional Winter Collection is raising money for Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program and the Vital Impacts Environmental Photography mentoring and grant program.

In line with its commitment to powerful storytelling, Vital Impacts will be announcing two $20,000 Environmental Photography Grants and a mentorship program for 50 honorees that supports in-depth environmental documentary journalists in conjunction with this print sale.

The collection offers a diverse range of imagery—including everything from a sleeping leopard to a vintage portrait of Dolly Parton—but what remains constant is these photographers’ commitment to the environment. “Photography has the unique ability to transcend all languages and help us understand our deep connections to one another and to all of life on this planet,” Vitale told My Modern Met. “It is the ultimate tool for creating empathy, awareness, and understanding across cultures; a tool for making sense of our commonalities in the world we share.”
