Conservation has always been the foundation for why we do what we do here at Experience Wildlife. Creating works of art, documenting species at risk or leading guests into the wild to experience these wonders for themselves. All these have are in the pursuit of creating awareness for the species and the places we care most about.
One very important way that we give back is to build in donations to NGO’s from images sales and photo tours to help aid their on the ground efforts.

We were lucky to catch up with Jennifer Leigh Warner recently and have shared our conversation below.
Jennifer Leigh, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?
When I was about eight years old I was obsessed with the big cats of Africa, especially the cheetah. After learning that the cheetah was Africa’s most endangered big cat and that their population was in steep decline I knew that I wanted to dedicate my life to wildlife conservation. When I was introduced to a special from National Geographic about a photographer who went to Africa to photograph cheetahs I realized that I could use photography as a tool to get people to care about the animals that I loved so much.
We kicked off the Wildside Nature Tours first Women’s Only tour in Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming with tour leaders Jennifer Leigh Warner and Alyce Bender. With years of experience of photographing this between the two of us, we were able to share with our guest some truly special locations.

We just returned back from one of the most spectacular wildlife experiences in the world, the Sandhill Crane migration along the Platte River in Nebraska and my heart is full. Leading this trip for Wildside Nature Tours and getting to share special places like this one with my clients brings me so much joy.
With nearly half a million cranes flying over head and taking off and landing on the river each morning and evening is unlike anything else you will see in the world. Sandhill Cranes stand roughly four feet tall and use this critical stop over in Nebraska to rest and refuel for their long journey to their breeding grounds. Without this habitat these birds would have a nearly impossible task of making it all the way north.
