Who am I?
My name is Jo Kuyken. I'm a Belgian conservation photographer on a mission to document the highest possible species diversity. This site serves as my taxonomic catalogue, where I place pictures of the species I encounter during my adventures. I have started my work in 2017 and continue doing so as of today. I find myself competing with others who have far more resources, making it quite a challenge to see the animals that I do. In real life, I am an English & history teacher. I enjoy spending time with my friends and watching all kinds of movies and series. But obviously, I'm always on the lookout for interesting trips to see new species. I consider this database my personal Photo Ark. I hope you enjoy browsing this place. It is my life's work and my forever passion! Thank you for being here! ♥
