Sustainability is embedded throughout Falmouth, which not only means using sustainable practices and products, but highlighting issues around conservation, biodiversity and the environment.
CAPTURING NATURE
For students and graduates of the Marine and Natural History Photography BA, this has included telling stories about native Cornish Black Bees, making films in the Galapagos Islands about saving endemic land birds and capturing the flight of blue faced monkeys in David Attenborough’s most recent series ‘Seven Worlds, One Planet’. Here are just some of the stunning images of nature and wildlife that our students have captured recently:
Ellie Letch, ' Saviour of the Soil'
Jay Wong, 'Yuruani Glass Frog'
Ellie Letch’s image ‘Saviour of the Soil’ celebrates soil, the heart and soul of our planet, at Ballylagan Organic Farm in Ireland. It’s estimated there are 12.8 quadrillion living organisms within the top 8cm of British soil alone.
Jay Wong’s image, ‘Yuruani Glass Frog’ depicts a fragile species that is vulnerable to threats from humans. Two thirds of all glass frog species are in decline due to deforestation and environmental changes.
