Founded in September 2010 by photographer Nick Brandt, Big Life Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and conservation of Africa’s wildlife and ecosystems.

With particular emphasis on countering the recent alarming escalation of poaching of African wildlife, Big Life seeks to work together with other NGO's in the areas to consolidate, coordinate and collaborate on all information and resources, so that as a team, maximum efficiency and effectiveness for protection of the ecosystems can be realized.

Working in the critically important areas adjacent to and surrounding National Parks, the most significant funding will go towards building up mobile teams of well-trained and well-equipped anti-poaching rangers and scouts.

Initially, the focus of Big Life's work is urgently protecting the diminishing wildlife of the Amboseli ecosystem in Kenya and Tanzania, with anti-poaching infrastructures established on both sides of the border for maximum impact.
