View More Capturing Nature, Inspiring Action: Safal Eye in the Wild 2026 Honours Africa’s Top Conservation PhotographersSafal Eye in the Wild 2026 Prize Gala Celebrates Conservation Excellence Nairobi, Kenya | July 17, 2026 — The Safal MRM Foundation, through its photography competition Safal Eye In The Wild, this evening honoured Africa’s leading conservation visual storytellers during the Safal Eye in the Wild 2026 Gala Awards Ceremony at Trademark Hotel in Nairobi. The award presented the Gold Award (USD 3,000), Silver Award (USD 2,000), Bronze Award (USD 1,000), Public Award (USD 500) and Amateur/Minor Award (USD 500 to support their education) to photographers whose work has brought Africa’s wildlife, landscapes and ecosystems into sharper focus through the power of visual storytelling. The awards recognised exceptional images that captured the richness, diversity and fragility of the continent’s natural heritage, highlighting photography’s unique ability to spark dialogue, deepen public appreciation of nature and inspire greater responsibility for its protection. In celebrating these photographers, Safal Eye in the Wild reaffirmed its belief that meaningful conservation begins with connection and that powerful stories can influence how people see and value the world around them. Bringing together conservation leaders, photographers, environmental advocates, business leaders, development partners and members of the creative community, the gala marked the culmination of another successful edition of Safal Eye in the Wild, which has evolved from a photography competition into one of East Africa’s most influential conservation and education platforms, creating opportunities for photographers while advancing environmental consciousness across the region. Speaking during the gala, Head of Safal MRM Foundation Siprosa Rabach said the initiative reflects the Foundation’s belief that conservation begins with connection and that storytelling remains one of the most powerful tools for inspiring environmental action. “Conservation starts when people care, and people care when they connect emotionally with what they see and experience. Safal Eye in the Wild was established to create that connection by using photography to bring nature closer to communities, inspire environmental stewardship and encourage action. Every image recognised tonight is more than a photograph; it is a call to protect the ecosystems, wildlife and biodiversity that define our shared future,” said Siprosa. Siprosa noted that the competition continues to demonstrate how business-led sustainability initiatives can create impact beyond traditional corporate social investment by bringing together conservation, creativity and education on a single platform. Speaking at the event, Mabati Rolling Mills Chief Executive Officer Albert Sigei reaffirmed the company’s commitment to sustainability and responsible growth, noting that environmental stewardship remains fundamental to long-term economic resilience and community wellbeing. “For over six decades, Mabati Rolling Mills has grown alongside the communities we serve and the environments that sustain them. We recognise that the future of business and the future of our planet are inseparable. Safal Eye in the Wild reflects our belief that the private sector has both the opportunity and the responsibility to contribute meaningfully to conservation while supporting innovation, education and creative expression,” said Sigei. Speaking during the gala through a special recorded message, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Inger Andersen, applauded the Safal MRM Foundation for demonstrating how creativity and visual storytelling can inspire meaningful conservation action while creating opportunities for future generations. “Safal Eye in the Wild is a powerful example of how art can become a catalyst for environmental action. By connecting photography with conservation and education, the Safal MRM Foundation is not only celebrating Africa’s extraordinary natural heritage but also empowering young people to become stewards of the environment. This initiative demonstrates how partnerships between the private sector, conservation organisations and communities can create lasting impact, inspiring people to protect biodiversity while investing in a more sustainable future for generations to come,” said Andersen.
