For 20 years, Jeremy Williams has been photographing, filming, researching, and producing uplifting, activating, educational and motivational media. His focus is working to protect threatened ecosystems and cultures.
My work focuses primarily on environmental conservation but that cannot be addressed without recognizing the inherent social justice issues related to the human right to a healthy environment.
In what is known as "British Columbia, Canada", indigenous people are still fighting for survival in the face of colonial exploitation of "resources", yet we all depend on a healthy environment to survive, so the struggle is for all of humanity.
This is the story I help to tell.
