Pierre Wildlife
Wildlife exploration, biodiversity documentation and conservation education across Southeast Asia, the Pacific and beyond.
Welcome to Pierre Wildlife
I am Pierre de Chabannes, a wildlife photographer, field producer, expedition leader and educator with more than twenty years of experience documenting animal biodiversity, both in the wild and under human care.
My work focuses particularly on the remarkable biodiversity of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, where I have spent many years exploring natural habitats, photographing animal species and collaborating on zoological and conservation projects.
Pierre Wildlife brings together these activities in a long-term project dedicated to documenting biodiversity, sharing knowledge and supporting the protection of wildlife and natural ecosystems.
We protect what we understand.
What I Do
My work combines four complementary activities, each contributing to a better understanding and appreciation of the natural world.
🌍 Wildlife Expeditions
I organise and lead field expeditions to observe and document wildlife, particularly endemic, threatened and poorly known species in remote or underexplored regions. Explore expeditions.
📸 Biodiversity Documentation
Through wildlife photography and field observations, I build visual records of animal diversity that can support zoological research, education and conservation. Discover iconic species.
🌿 Conservation Projects
I collaborate with scientists, local partners and conservation organisations on projects involving biodiversity monitoring, habitat protection and threatened wildlife.
📚 Education and Outreach
I share zoological knowledge through species profiles, publications, lectures and educational activities, making natural history accessible to a wider audience. Explore education resources.
Why Biodiversity Documentation Matters
Across the world, natural habitats are being transformed or disappearing, placing increasing pressure on wildlife populations. Many species remain poorly known, while others face the risk of extinction before their ecology and distribution are fully understood.
Documenting animals in their natural environments, recording their presence and sharing knowledge about their biology can help improve our understanding of biodiversity and the challenges it faces.
Through Pierre Wildlife, my objectives are to contribute to zoological knowledge, make biodiversity more accessible through education and support conservation initiatives that protect species and their habitats.

Pierre Wildlife in Numbers
More than two decades of wildlife documentation have contributed to a growing collection of photographic records and educational resources.
Collaborations and Partnerships
Wildlife documentation and conservation are collaborative efforts. I welcome opportunities to work with scientists, conservation organisations, zoological institutions, educational establishments and sponsors interested in supporting biodiversity research, field expeditions and conservation initiatives.
