An online publication by Hannah Ritchie in 2022 reported that humans (34%) plus their livestock (62%) make up 96% of the biomass of all the world’s mammals. Wild mammal biomass has declined by 85%. When walking in wild places, photographers thrill to encounter the wild creatures that remain. These are creatures I’ve encountered in southwest Colorado. Some of these images are available in the Print Shop.
