Fiji’s Natural Image Captures UN’s Interest

This has been made possible by Fiji-based photographer, Tom Vierus, a marine biologist who was accepted into the Emerging League of the prestigious “International League of Conservation Photographers” which is made up of the best nature photographers and storytellers in the world.

One of the photos he took while doing some studies in Beqa has won second prize at the United Nations World Oceans Day Photo Competition in the “Nature-based Solutions and Ocean Discoveries” category.

WHILE IN FIJI

He said at the end of 2018, he decided to return to Fiji, and after several months of administrational struggle, he founded ‘Pacific Media House’, a photography and filmmaking company based in Suva.

He added that since then, he worked with many incredible individuals, NGOs, and other agencies, promoting their work, and telling their stories about their efforts in environmental protection, marine conservation, or the struggle with climate change.
