Description

Conservators at the Natural History Museum in London are seen through a thermal imaging camera traditionally used in surveillance or hunting. They restore taxidermy specimens from the South American collection in preparation for relocation to off-site storage. Infra-red night-time footage captures endangered animals that have recently been translocated from Europe back to their native habitat in Argentina, the country from which Rinland’s parents emigrated.
