ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER
London-based photographer, Safeena Chaudhry, is a passionate advocate for using her photography as a means of exploring deeper issues. She runs photography and literature events (including Novel London) and has written a novel.
In April and May 2018, Safeena travelled to Nepal and South Africa to seek out the warriors who train and fight against crimes.
In Nepal, she met up with theKung Fu Nuns, who travel the world to hold workshops in self-defence. They raise awareness of violence against women human trafficking and environmental education.
Safeena also spent time volunteering at Transfrontier Africa, where she met The Black Mambas - a female anti-poaching unit that patrols the Balule National Reserve. The role is to combat the poaching of one of the most endangered animals on the planet: the rhino. These women (like the King Fu Nuns) are unarmed and trained to spot the signs of poachers. Assisted by incredible women such as Charlene, Amy Clark, Leonie Hofstra, Lisa Trueman and Lewyn Maefala, the program also includes The Bush Babies Environmental Educational Program.
During her stay in Hoedspruit, South Africa, Safeena spent time with the Black Mambas on patrol and took numerous portraits. The Black Mambas is the brainchild of anthropologist and conservationist Craig Spencer who oversees the exciting and important initiative.
