Step inside our next featured story in the Eco Leaders interview series with wildlife photographer and biologist Roy Toft, whose work is rooted in patience, proximity, and the art of truly seeing wildlife. With more than three decades in the field, Roy has revealed the hidden lives of extraordinary animals while fiercely advocating for the places they call home. His work has appeared in National Geographic, Audubon, Discover, and beyond.
Between global expeditions with Toft Photo Safaris, from Costa Rica to Botswana to Patagonia, Roy spent time at Ecopia, immersing himself in our 150-acre private wildlife sanctuary and reflecting on what it means to travel, observe, and engage with wildlife responsibly.
Watch the full interview through the link in our bio. We hope Roy’s perspective inspires you to travel more mindfully and to treat every animal encounter as a privilege.
