Boyd Norton
Recipient of the 2015 Sierra Club’s Ansel Adams award for Conservation Photography has for over 30 years Boyd used his photography skills and environmental understanding to lead photographic eco-tours to destinations such as Tanzania, Peru, Borneo, Galapagos, Siberia and Antarctica. His articles and photos have appeared in most major magazines, including Time, National Geographic, Smithsonian, Audubon, Conde Nast’s Traveler, Stern, Vogue, Money, Outdoor Photographer, Popular Photography, Travel-Holiday, Travel & Leisure, Outside, Reader’s Digest, The New York Times, Sierra Club, Playboy, Time-Life Books, and numerous others in this country and abroad.
He is the author/photographer of sixteen critically acclaimed books. His newest, Serengeti : The Eternal Beginning, received high praise from Jane Goodall, Richard Engel, Chief Foreign Correspondent for NBC News /eco-activist Ed Begley, Jr., and others.
Boyd is leading the battle to save the Serengeti ecosystem from a destructive commercial highway and other developments. He is founder and co-director of Serengeti Watch, a 501(c) 3 non-profit for preserving the Serengeti ecosystem. Norton has served on the Board of Trustees for the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, devoted to saving the last mountain gorillas, and is currently on the Board of Directors of Baikal Watch, a part of David Brower’s Earth Island Institute, dedicated to preserving Lake Baikal and other wilderness areas of Siberia.
He is a founder of the Hells Canyon Preservation Council, Greater Sawtooth Preservation Council and the Idaho Environmental Council. In 1980 Norton received a special award from the Environmental Protection Agency, presented by Robert Redford, for his “important, exciting environmental photography and writing.” For the past two decades his environmental activism has become global in scope, including projects for eco-tourism development at Siberia’s Lake Baikal, nature reserves in the Russian Far East, in Tanzania, and in Peru.
