100% (Ciento por Ciento) is a new photo book that explores the fragile landscapes and everyday lives of World Land Trust (WLT) partners in Argentina's Patagonia. The book was created in collaboration with WLT Ambassador Jonny Lu and features photographs taken by Colin Dodgson during a trip to two WLT-funded wildlife reserves in Southern Argentina. The book's title, "100% (Ciento por Ciento)", emphasizes the importance of protecting all species, no matter how insignificant they may seem. Jonny Lu, a WLT Ambassador, emphasizes the need to preserve the environment and the importance of each species' role in the ecosystem. The book showcases the subtle details of nature conservation work that are often overlooked, from messy office desks and dirty car windows to rangers playing saxophone. One of the key locations featured in the book is the Somuncurá volcanic rock plateau, where WLT partner Fundación Hábitat y Desarrollo works. The plateau is a windswept landscape with "horizon in every direction" and communicates stories of evolutionarily distinct species. The El Rincon Stream Frog (Pleurodema somuncurense) is a muse for the book and is featured on the first page. Its survival hangs in a delicate balance, as it has evolved to survive only in the Valcheta, which is constantly heated by hot springs. Another key location for many of the book's images is the Estancia La Esperanza nature reserve, situated along the coast. The intense blue sea and rhythmic waves provide a stunning backdrop for the book's images, which capture the beauty and fragility of the natural world. Overall, 100% provides a unique and intimate glimpse into the lives of WLT partners in Argentina's Patagonia and the work they do to protect the environment and the species that call it home. The book's photographs capture the subtle details of nature conservation work and the character of the landscapes and communities that are being preserved.
