But Creation is also a manifesto for conservation and the preservation of biodiversity. Through his images, Skeggs seeks to raise awareness of the need to conserve nature and preserve animals’ natural habitats.

In doing so, he raises readers’ awareness, inspires action, and encourages others to protect and value our natural heritage.
It invites everyone to immerse themselves in our planet’s wild beauty and actively help protect the environment. Each photograph tells a story about the endless variety of wildlife and the majestic landscapes these animals inhabit.
