RAVE -- Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition

RAVE is born as an initiative of the International League of Conservation Photographers. Conceived to address the challenges of modern conservation, RAVE aims to achieve a full visual and media assessment in a short period of time by means of a multi-disciplinary team that includes several specialized ILCP photographers (landscape, wildlife, macro, camera trapping, portraiture), writers and cameramen. Their job is to bring back a comprehensive portrait of a conservation issue or threat in a very short period of time.

RAVE (Rapid Assessment Visual Expedition) is a Trademarked initiative of the ILCP. Before any expedition can become known as a RAVE it must be vetted by the ILCP.

RAVE HAS PROVEN TO BE A VALUABLE TOOL FOR CONSERVATION!
