My name is David Rosenzweig and I am a 20 year old student from Long Island, New York with an immense passion for wildlife photography and conservation. My journey began at age 13 on a trip to the Galapagos Islands; it was there that I first picked up a camera. After making my first trip to the African continent one year later, I immediately found the place where I most felt at home. 

 

Africa quickly became an obsession for me. I fell in love with everything about the continent - from its wildlife to its peoples and its amazing opportunities. After a while searching, I found a cause that I would soon dedicate five years of my life to. Rhinos Without Borders was a radical movement started by National Geographic Photographers Dereck and Beverly Joubert. The goal of the organization was to move 100 rhinos from high-risk areas in South Africa to safe-havens in Botswana.

​

Five years in and we have relocated 77 rhinos and 12 calves have been born. The mission has been a resounding success, but it is not over. We need your help to make an everlasting mark on conservation in Africa

​

My involvement with Rhinos Without Borders represented my growing interest in Africa and Wildlife Conservation. I have now made nine successful trips to the Africa continent, focusing on anything from private safaris to rhino relocations to internships and business meetings.

 

 Outside of photography, I am a rising Junior at Stanford University where I study International Relations and Economic Development, focusing in on Africa. The continent's future is exceedingly bright and I hope to play a small role in its success moving forward!
