National Geographic Prints Biography

‘Africa’ is an evocative collection of National Geographic images arisen from one artist’s passion for the wide spaces of Africa and the spirit of freedom that they embody. Unique in that the photographer has purposefully taken a step back, spending weeks, months and even years waiting for that decisive moment - to capture Africa in context. This National Geographic photography collection includes pieces from some of Africa’s most iconic landscapes, but as is true of all National Geographic photographers, this body of work also offers a spellbinding journey to remote and seldom photographed wildernesses. Whether it is a Black Rhino browsing in an equatorial forest or Ground Squirrels foraging on the desert floor of the Kalahari, the collection portrays ordinary African subjects captured in an extraordinary way.

Join wildlife photographer and 8^th generation African, Greg du Toit as he takes you on a journey beyond the dynamic chaos and into the strange serenity that has drawn explorers and adventures to Africa’s shores for centuries….

National Geographic Channel Biography
Behind Andrew Ference's six-pack and multi-million dollar salary, he is a self-professed nature-loving "geek" — and proud of it. When he's not on the ice playing defense for the Boston Bruins, you can find him speaking at elementary schools about the benefits of composting, or meeting with MIT grad students to discuss the future of renewable energy. He rides his bike to TD Garden and doesn't mind being called a tree hugger — he's just as comfortable talking about environmental issues as he is checking opponents into the ice.

In 2007 with the help of his childhood hero, Canadian environmentalist David Suzuki, Ference established the NHL Players Association's Carbon Neutral Challenge – the first major environmental initiative in professional hockey. He encouraged over 500 of his fellow NHL-ers to go carbon neutral and rethink the way they treat the environment.

As a result, players such as Ryan Miller have since traded in their SUVs for hybrids. Stadiums have begun to use solar panels to generate electricity, and team owners are asking for his advice on how to "green" their arenas.

"By going carbon neutral, one person might not make that much of a difference, but with over 500 guys doing it across the NHL, that's part of a real solution," said Ference. "The Carbon Neutral Challenge is part of a greater philosophy of trying to do the right thing... whether it's a player that starts the spark, or a fan who reads about it, we're hoping that it might be that first action that starts to make a difference in other parts of their lives".

Four years ago Andrew Ference issued a challenge to the league, and the players responded. Now he's ready to take it to the next level.
