Carlton Ward, Jr.
Carlton Ward, Jr. is an environmental photojournalist from Tampa, Florida, with graduate training in ecology and anthropology. At home and abroad, he seeks stories where he can use photographs to make a difference. Carlton's passion for nature was born from the Florida landscape, where eight generations of family history have grounded his perspective. He sees cultural heritage and the natural environment as two of society's greatest yet most threatened resources. In 2004 he founded the Legacy Institute for Nature & Culture (LINC) as a tool for connecting society to natural heritage issues, striving to advance conservation through communications. Carlton regularly produces stories for newspapers and magazines including recent features in Smithsonian, National Wildlife, Africa Geographic, and Outdoor Photographer. For his recent book, The Edge of Africa, Carlton spent eight months in the tropical rain forests of Gabon, documenting the unseen wonders of life in the Congo basin. Since then, Carlton has been photographing endangered desert elephants in the Sahel region of Mali, at the edge of the Sahara near Timbuktu -- the last population of desert elephants in West Africa. Back at home, he has embarked on a new project, The Heart of Florida, focusing on the vanishing heritage of Florida ranchlands.
