Abstract:
Wildlife photography or filming is associating with nature and wild animals capturing them
in their natural habitat. When dealing with nature and animals, photographers have to be
circumspect about themselves as well as the knowledge of flora fauna and their environment.
They should support to conserve and protect the nature and its wildlife. Therefore,
establishment of practical ethical model for wildlife image capturing processes has been an
important necessity. The model would be related to Sri Lanka and it is a basic ethical
approach for the inland wildlife image capturing processes, which suggests and developed
some standards and framework under suitable equipment, disturbance limits, responsibilities,
and many various analyses. It is consisted with suggestions and solutions to prevent unethical
wildlife photography practices as well. So as the wildlife photographers can utilize the model
as a guide to their works.
