Xtina Parks is an African wildlife and landscape photographer, filmmaker, conservationist, researcher, gallery founder who’s works focus on the African natural world.  Her work in Africa began in 2011 as a photographer and has grown to encompass all aspects of conservation and the telling of stories that support both the people and the animals of the continent.

Xtina strives to reach across cultures and focuses her research efforts that help bridge the human-wildlife conflict due to dwindling habitats that also are home to people – hence the support of arts and culture directly supports people’s economic health, which lessens the stress on habitats and wildlife diversity preservation efforts.
