“I’ve spent 20 years documenting wildlife crime and the destruction of our planet. And I have to ask myself, does every species have to be extinct before we wake up?”

Meet Paul Hilton, a prolific conservation photojournalist and wildlife crime consultant, as well as the face of Discovery Channel’s Change Drivers: Episode 3, out now.

Paul has spent the past twenty years traveling the globe documenting crimes against our planet, from the shark fin trade to illegal wildlife smuggling and the palm oil industry.

This could be you, floating on the surface looking down at a mother and calf 🐋. We now have 6 spots available for our 2020 humpback 🐋 whale trip. As I’ve said before that the humpback whale experience is the best wildlife encounter I’ve ever had. It’s an experience, we’d like to share with you. It really doesn’t get any better. Link in our bio for details or DM us here DATES

As I leave Timor Leste, i reflect on another adventure coming to a close. I appreciate how we all go home with a deeper appreciation of the natural world, and a better understanding of ourselves and each other. The OutThere philosophy was always to help me and my small team to recharge before going back out to the frontlines of the conservation world and just to enjoy pure nature with likeminded people. So for all of you that showed up, thank you from the whole team. Until next time 🙏🏽🐋🐬

https://outtherewithpaulhilton.com/ The mighty blue whale, ascending into the blue realm, holding her secrets close. These whales can grow to over 30-metres in length, but are extremely graceful swimmers. They typically have a cruising speed of around 8-kilometres per hour, and can hit top speeds of up to 50 kph. They are also great divers, plunging down to depths of 500-metres, to seek krill.
Because the blue whale is the largest animal to live on the planet, it has few predators. However, shark attacks and killer whales can injure or kill a blue whale. More commonly, they succumb to injuries sustained with collisions with large sea vessels.

The global population of blue whales is uncertain, but based on research from the IUCN, the global total for the species is estimated to be between 10,000-25,000 and classed as endangered. Image: for
