Laurent Baheux is a French nature photographer and activist who is the author of The Family Album of Wild Africa, published by teNeues in 2015. In addition to the consciousness-raising that is inherent in his photographic work, he accompanies and supports the deeds of organisations such as the United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) that work for the protection of nature and the preservation of biodiversity. His mission is to inspire those who witness his works not only to marvel at them, but also to take action.
