This November, the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP) celebrates twenty years of visual storytelling with Prints for the Planet — a limited-edition fine art print sale featuring more than 100 stunning images of wildlife and habitats from some of the world’s most celebrated conservation photographers.
Photography has immense power to mobilise the public in support of conservation projects and environmental change, so a group of conservation photographers founded iLCP in 2005 with the sentiment that their cameras “could be tools for change, not just instruments of beauty”. Many of the founding members of iLCP are featured in the print sale, including Cristina Mittermeier, Joel Sartore, Beverly Joubert, Annie Griffiths, and Art Wolfe.
Early access registration for the sale is now open at iLCP’s website, offering a chance to own a piece of conservation history — and help shape its future.
Running from 6–27 November 2025, the sale offers collectors and nature lovers a rare opportunity to own museum-quality prints from iLCP’s global archive, priced between $100 and $590. Funds raised through Prints for the Planet will directly support iLCP’s mission to protect wild places, strengthen conservation initiatives, and empower the next generation of visual storytellers through its Emerging League program.
