Ami VitaleLast Chance! TODAY is the final day to explore the Vital Impacts Annual Print Sale. Each image in this collection captures a powerful story of conservation, resilience, and the breathtaking beauty of our natural world. What started as a vision to unite photographers in support of grassroots conservation and impactful environmental visual storytelling has grown into a global movement. The initial goal of Vital Impacts was straightforward: to bring powerful images of our planet into people's homes, hoping that daily exposure to these visuals would inspire them. Stories can be transformative and galvanize the meaningful actions necessary for enduring change. My first private sale was sparked by outrage over the U.S.'s plan to reverse the ban on the elephant tusk trade back in 2017. To channel that frustration, I launched a print sale to benefit the Reteti Elephant Sanctuary I’d been working with, raising $50,000 in just a couple of weeks. I soon realized we could achieve more by working together, which led to the beginnings of Vital Impacts. We gathered an impressive group of hundreds of photographers, celebrated fine artists, up-and-coming talents, and even had Dr. Jane Goodall donate images for sale. For this sale, sixty percent of the profits go to COICA ORG—an inspiring organization representing 511 Indigenous communities working tirelessly to protect the Amazon River Basin and its vital ecosystems, while 40 percent goes directly to the photographers. Even if people don’t buy images, my hope was that they get inspired by the work. For the past four years, we've run print sales benefiting conservation nonprofits, raising $3.3 million. Massive thanks to our incredible partners Canson Infinity, Paper & Ink Studio, and theprintspace for your artistry and support, and to each of the incredible photographers who have shared their work to make this possible!
