A Conversation with Dereck and Beverly Joubert: Photography, Filmmaking, and Conservation

In this episode of the podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with renowned wildlife photographers and filmmakers, Dereck and Beverly Joubert. With over 25 years of experience documenting wildlife and conservation efforts in Africa, they have become leaders in their field and advocates for the protection of wildlife and wild places.

We dive into their journey, how they got started in the industry, and the changes they have seen over the years. They emphasize the importance of having an opinion on the issues affecting our world today, particularly when it comes to wildlife conservation.

We also discuss the destructive values that governments often have towards wildlife, the disconnect that younger generations have with nature, and the power of storytelling in raising awareness and effecting change.

Throughout our conversation, Dereck and Beverly share insights into their creative process, the challenges they face as photographers and filmmakers, and their advice for those just starting out in the industry.

As we wrap up our discussion, it is clear that Dereck and Beverly are not only talented artists, but also passionate advocates for conservation and the protection of our planet’s wildlife.

If you are interested in wildlife photography, filmmaking, or conservation, this episode is a must-listen.
