[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]More than 100 photographers from all over the world had one goal in the summer of 2020: to give hope to Africa’s animals, nature and people in times of Corona. This is the idea of printsforwildlife.org<\/a> in short. The world\u2019s best wildlife and \u2018rather\u2019 small local photographers contribute their strongest images to help with this print fundraiser campaign during the COVID-19 pandemic. The images were sold as limited FineArt prints for the good cause – for a total of 660,000 dollars. Hahnem\u00fchle supported the project with the new and award-winning Hahnem\u00fchle Hemp FineArt paper<\/a> and an additional donation from their own Green Rooster environmental initiative<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”19573″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”19576″ img_size=”medium” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Photographers Pie Aerts<\/a> (The Netherlands) and Marion Payr<\/a> (Austria) initiated \u201cPrints for Wildlife\u201d: “Just because we cannot travel to these parks because of Corona does not mean that we cannot provide meaningful support. That’s why we have joined forces with dedicated and generous international wildlife photographers for an extraordinary limited-edition fundraising campaign to support local communities and wildlife reserves during the COVID-19 pandemic”.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]For $100 each, \u201cPrints for Wildlife\u201d had sold over 6000 collectors’ prints within a month. 660,000 dollars were raised. Hahnem\u00fchle donated a further \u20ac10,000 from its environmental initiative Green Rooster. All proceeds go to African Parks<\/a>, a non-profit organisation that manages 18 nature reserves in 11 African countries. “Thanks to this incredible support, we are able to protect biodiversity – from vast tropical forests to brilliant blue seascapes – to prevent poaching and illegal trade in wildlife and to protect species at their source,” said Lindsey Watcham of the African Parks Network<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]All FineArt Photo Prints were made by Gallery Color<\/a> – a professional, Dutch printing lab – on the new Hahnem\u00fchle Hemp paper which is made from one of the oldest and most diverse natural fibres in the world. “It is the perfect paper for the incredibly gripping and emotional animal photographs that have been sent to donors around the world. We support the sustainability idea of the ‘Prints for Wildlife’ initiative to protect endangered species and habitats in Africa. Our hemp paper and our Green Rooster donation contribute to the great international success of the project,” said Eveline Eisermann, responsible for marketing and communication of the Digital FineArt papers at Hahnem\u00fchle.<\/p>\n
