William Fortescue has an astonishing skill for producing heart-stopping, stunning portraits of our wild relatives. He captures their essence beautifully, and their eyes speak volumes. As a 65-year-old who also loves nature photography, I am wildly impressed with his talent and his philosophy of motivating humanity to love what we still have and protect it by changing our ways. Thank you for this wonderful video!

Thanks for incredible pictures and being involved in conservation. I think eye contact with a gorilla or chimpanzee is different to any other animal, as you say, is because they are people. They just can‘t read and write (and didn’t tame the fire so far). Was Lucky enough to meet both in Uganda last month.
