Ronan Donovan: Wild Stories, Wolves, Wonderment.

We believe every partnership starts with authentic connection. National Geographic Explorer Ronan Donovan is a wildlife biologist, conservation photographer & artist who uses visual storytelling to illuminate stories that remind us we are all connected.

Grateful to be part of Ronan’s universe of good work. Visionary storyteller, educator, friend (and wild dancer). Social mammals indeed.

Ronan’s story begins in Vermont (in some transformative trouble) leading to a lifetime of immersive fieldwork and groundbreaking storytelling. As a NatGeo photographer he has journeyed across all seven continents—documenting wild chimpanzees in Uganda, capturing the conservation challenges of mountain gorillas in Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda, and chronicling the wild lives of arctic wolves in the Canadian high arctic, which later unfolded as a three-part special on National Geographic Channel. Over an eight-year period, Ronan’s in-depth exploration of the delicate relationship between farmers and wild chimpanzees in western Uganda earned a standout feature in National Geographic Magazine and his essay Ape at Your Door recently appeared in Modern Huntsman. His acclaimed film/television work includes Kingdom of the White Wolf and BBC/s Planet Earth. His NatGeo Wolves exhibit is currently touring museums across country.

Ronan’s fine art photography show ‘From Wolf Country” opened in April of 2024, and is available at his web shop with a portion of profit supporting conservation efforts. “I strive to create imagery that brings curiosity and awe to scientific papers. I add heartbeats to data points.”   Ronan’s hope that we might “look into the wild nature portrayed in these images and be compelled to stand and protect it” is a shared dream. Glad to be to be part of bringing this work to the world. And for clients who become friends, family, wolfpack if you will.
