Wild Shots Outreach Newsletter – March 2023
Engaging young people in nature and conservation through photography
It has been an exciting and busy start to the year. Wild Shots Outreach has successfully delivered its first workshops in Namibia, together with our third visit to Botswana with Natural Selection. Three former students have qualified as FGASA field guides, and our first Bursary student has graduated from university. A three-year PhD research project investigating the impact of WSO has just been published.

“Photography makes me feel alive. I can’t put into words the joy and excitement. Wild Shots Outreach made me realise I can have a dream, people like me.” Feedback from Ernst (22), at Kwessi Dunes Lodge. WSO was invited by Natural Selection to run our programmes with young jobseekers from three local communities in Namibia. They stayed in the lodges, gaining valuable insights into Namibia’s tourism industry and wildlife economy. Thank you to Canon EMEA Young People Programme and the Natural Selection Foundation for their support.
