“Our key message this year is that everyone can do their bit to help conservation,” added Tom. “It doesn’t need to be a huge effort, just a little effort by each of us and we can make a difference.”

Tom encourages people to contribute to the conservation of nature themselves and gave some useful advice:
“SHOP RESPONSIBLY.
Yup, this is super easy for everyone to do. For example; don’t buy products which have palm oil, because the palm oil plantations are destroying rainforests and thus affecting the global weather. Try and avoid un-recyclable products. Give yourself a mission – ok how about one yogurt pot per person per week of non-recyclable products? It is possible, you know. We have a great mate in London who does just that.”

“WATER USE AT HOME.
Ok, this is the thing, each time you flush the loo we send approx. 20ltrs of water down the drain – seriously, it’s crazy. So “If it’s yellow, let it mellow”…you know the rest…! Have shorter showers, water your garden a little less. Imagine if we all stop flushing our loos each time we did a wee, then billions and billions of litres of fresh water would be saved and available to rush down rivers, feed the fish, save the lakes and enable forests and trees and plants to flourish and grow which adds oxygen to our environment as well as supply homes and food for a global plethora of wildlife.”

“BECOME A “WILD INFLUENCER”.
Yup, you heard it here first. This is a special person who may be not a mega activist, but really, really cares about the environment and what is happening so you do a few very simple and easy things. For example, encourage your friends and family about some of the simple things we have mentioned above, talk about it in social media, in the pub, at work. Does your workplace subscribe to some good environmental practices? Find really awesome conservation organizations and engage with them on email, or social media. Email or write to your local government representative, maybe an MP, a House of Rep, a councilor and find out what they are doing to help the wildlife around the world. Hold your elected representatives accountable. You have a voice, we all do, use it and don’t be afraid.”

“Our strong belief here at Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards is that the smallest thing can help conservation. By following Born Free on social media you have made one positive step. By supporting them financially, you make another big step. By sharing our posts, by buying the book, by keeping the conversation going… all these things help raise the issues of wild animal conservation,” says Tom.
