ABOUT US
YOUR SUPPORT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
Walls for Wildlife stemmed from pure passion.
Passion for photography, passion for wildlife and passion for conservation.
Africa is not a place, it’s a feeling. Walls for Wildlife invites this feeling into all areas and spaces, through art. The feeling of the bush is imprinted in our hearts from sharing a world we were once an intimate and small part of, a world that we are now desperately trying to protect.
The Walls for Wildlife initiative is fully endorsed by the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation. It provides its supporting partners with a platform to demonstrate a shared commitment to the future of wildlife and its habitat. With 30% of proceeds going directly to grassroots conservation projects.

James Marshall was born in South Africa in 1961 and has been a wildlife enthusiast all of his life.
As a young man, James was involved with the Vulture Study Group (Endangered Wildlife Trust).
He then qualified as a guide through The Wilderness Leadership School, under the leadership of Dr Ian Player. James went on to guide at Londolozi Game Reserve, within the Greater Kruger National Park, where he was also involved in wildlife documentary work. James then established Eco Training, a professional Guide and Wildlife Academy.
He has travelled extensively in Africa, undertaking safaris to areas as diverse as the Central Kalahari, Luangwa Valley, Zimbabwe, Botswana and the broad plains of the Maasai Mara.
James’s ability to interpret nature and the value that wild places have to offer man has grown over the years and he has interacted and worked with people from all spheres of life.
James runs “Walls for Wildlife” an Art and Fine Art print platform, assisting in fund raising for hands on Conservation initiatives.
“I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in tune once more”.

Graham headed for the bush early on in life, beginning his nuptial job as a guide at Londolozi Game Reserve. Here he spent seven intensely formative years. A childhood dream come true to work in the wilderness. Graham has worked closely with wildlife ever since, being one of the fortunate few to have hand reared and release two leopard cubs in the wild. Here he gained incredible insight into the inner soul of the magnificent predators. Graham has set up and run rehabilitation and release programmes for birds of prey.
Graham's passion for wildlife is infectious and his zest for sharing his knowledge and experiences of the wild are unrivalled. Graham is one of the founder members of the well renowned guiding schools, Eco Training.

I was born and raised in the eastern part of South Africa. With the Kruger National Park only an hour away and parents who both worked in the bush, I was fortunate enough to spend a lot of time in the wilderness. I started taking pictures with one of my fathers' cameras and photography soon became a passion. Having someone like my dad to teach me was a massive bonus. Twelve years on, after experimenting with different types of photography and traveling to different continents for the past four years, I still long for the days I get to spend in the bush following my passion for capturing images of Africa's amazing wildlife and wilderness.

I had the privilege of being born to parents that worked and lived in the Greater Kruger National Park. This must have sparked a keen interest in the Natural World, hence triggering an interest in photography.
