On Tuesday, more than 50 Midwest EPA union members and environmental advocates, dressed in black, held tombstone-shaped signs as they chanted “We want clean air, we want clean water,” in downtown Chicago.

Some of his most distinctive pictures—originally shot on assignment for Vanity Fair—are those depicting camouflage-clad local rangers from game reserves, conservancies, and elsewhere, who risk their lives to combat criminal rings of poachers seeking the valuable horns and tusks of rhinos and elephants.
