"People protect what they connect with."

Dying To Live Conservation Trust was founded by Mylo Romero — a wildlife photographer, conservation advocate and educator whose work sits at the intersection of science, storytelling and genuine compassion for the natural world.
Holding a Master of Science in Wildlife Biology & Conservation, Mylo Romero's approach is grounded not only in artistic instinct but in rigorous scientific understanding. His academic background provides a deep knowledge of animal behaviour, ecology, population dynamics and the complex environmental pressures driving species toward extinction. This foundation informs every photograph he takes and every conversation he has about the wildlife he documents.
What began as a fascination with capturing fleeting moments in nature evolved into something far greater — a lifelong commitment to using imagery as a force for conservation. Years spent in the field, observing species from orangutans in the rainforest canopy to elephants on the African savanna, revealed a truth that would shape everything that followed: that a single image can change how a person sees an animal, and that changed perception can change the world that animal lives in.
Mylo Romero's photography has taken him across diverse habitats and brought him face to face with some of the planet's most remarkable and most threatened species. Each encounter deepened his conviction that photography alone is not enough — that education, community engagement and accessible conservation messaging are essential if the images we create are to translate into meaningful protection for the animals they depict.
Dying To Live Conservation Trust is the realisation of that conviction — a platform built to bridge the gap between scientific understanding and public connection, making conservation feel personal, urgent and achievable for everyone, regardless of their background.
