The Associated Press reports that nature photographers from around the world will gather in Wyoming’s upper Green River valley this month to photograph “the challenges of conservation there in the face of intense gas development.”
The International League of Conservation Photographers plans to conduct a three-day expedition to the valley in May. It’s called a rapid assessment visual expedition, or RAVE. A statement from the league says that although gas development there has diminished air and water resources, the landscape still contains much of high scenic and ecological value.
Later this month, the National Museum of Wildlife Art outside Jackson will host an exhibit of the photos.
The Wyoming Arts Council believes that experiencing the arts should be accessible for all, including people with mental and/or physical disabilities, older adults, military/veterans, people living in institutions and those who lack access to the arts due to geographic isolation, cultural difference and economic hardship.
