FORMULA FOR CONSERVATION:
20 Photographers + 20 Ranchers = Astonishing Wildlife Images

The Pro-Tour has selected 20 landowners from applicants representing a 19-county area in the Coastal Bend of Texas. The ranches are randomly matched with 20 international professional nature photographers for an intensive world-class tournament that will take place April 1 – April 30, 2008.

ICF’s goal is to create sustainable development of rural economies through the creation and prosperity of the Private Lands Nature Photo-Tourism Industry. Nature Photography has the unique ability to preserve habitat permanently by making it profitable.
