Ballestas

starting at €90.00

The rugged Las Islas Ballestas islands in Peru are home to an incredible number of birds, such as guanay and neotropic cormorants (Phalacrocorax bougainvilliorum and P. brasilianus, also P. olivaceus), Peruvian and blue-footed boobies (Sula variegata and S. nebouxii), Peruvian and brown pelicans (Pelecanus thagus and P. occidentalis), Inca terns (Larosterna inca), and Humboldt penguins (Spheniscus humboldti). The piece of land protruding from the Pacific Ocean is very small and birds are head to head. Tourists are not allowed on the protected islands, but they can be viewed from boats. The smell of guano is a reminder of the lucrative fertilizer business of the past and the soundscape of the importance of protecting the island's wildlife.

THEIR LAND – A series of organisms in their habitats

A series of photographs depicting various organisms living alone or in communities within their territories. Their own territory is a crucial habitat that knows no man-made boundaries—whether national, property lines, or otherwise. In its own territory, an animal experiences not only peaceful coexistence with its own and other species, but also mutual skirmishes and even fierce competition based on natural selection and balance—a struggle for existence. 

The images in this series can be ordered with or without a white border and stylish info text.
