Umberto Esposito

Umberto Esposito is a mountain guide and a naturalist photographer. He works between Abruzzo and Molise regions where, among the immense beech forests in the mountains or in the meadows, you can still see some extraordinary animal species. At the end of the nineties the encounter with the bears of the valley and the emotion for the first photographs guided him to what has become his job. In 2009 he created Wildlife Adventures committed to education and hiking, with the mission of bringing people closer to nature. He is responsible for several publicity campaigns and collaborates regularly with protected areas and NGOs in Italy and Europe. In 2017 after working for a long time in Europe’s most ancient beech forests, he published the multimedia project “Forestbeat”, followed by the volume “The Secret of the Giants”. In 2021, together with other two naturalists he published the multimedia project “L’orso e la formica” with the aim to increase people’s awareness of the critical conservation status of Apennine bears.
