Welcome back to The Big Cat People Podcast! We’re Jonathan and Angela Scott, award-winning wildlife photographers, authors, and conservationists. Today’s episode continues our guest interview series, “In Conversation with The Big Cat People.”

Our guest is Daisy Gilardini, a renowned conservation photographer specializing in the Polar Regions, with a focus on Antarctic wildlife and North American bears. Originally from Switzerland and now based in Vancouver, Daisy’s lifelong passion for nature was ignited on her first journey to Antarctica in 1997. Since then, she has dedicated her career to documenting the beauty and fragility of Earth’s most remote environments.

Through powerful imagery and storytelling, Daisy bridges art and advocacy, keeping these distant landscapes at the forefront of global awareness. Her fine art prints are collected internationally, and she is a sought-after mentor and expedition leader. A member of the International League of Conservation Photographers, a Fellow of the Explorers Club, and a member of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society, Daisy’s work has been featured in National Geographic, BBC Wildlife, Canadian Geographic, and more. Her photographs have supported conservation efforts with organizations such as Greenpeace and WWF, and she has served as Photographer-in-Residence for Canadian Geographic since 2018.

This episode is part of our ongoing effort to educate, inspire, and deepen the connection between photography and conservation. If you'd like to learn more about us, or to check out our latest collection of educational ebooks, please visit our website: ⁠www.bigcatpeople.com⁠.
