Mike McGovern

Mike McGovern is a wildlife storyteller and naturalist who has spent the past decade closing the distance between iconic species and your feed — from tigers in the jungles of South Asia to sharks in the open Pacific. His camera is the window to the 1,000 iconic species on this list, there to capture every one of them in the frame and share them with everyone tracking the expedition. Aided by a motley crew of naturalists, educators, and storytellers, he's spearheading the expedition to be the first to document the most iconic animals on the planet.
