Through powerful imagery and narrative, Wendy captures the beauty of the natural world while advocating for its urgent protection. Her work is driven by a belief that wild places and biodiversity are the most precious parts of our planet—and must be preserved for future generations.

Like nowhere else
Scott Reef
Scott Reef, located off the remote Kimberley coast, is one of Western Australia’s most biodiverse coral reefs.
This isolated reef system, fuelled by nutrient-rich upwellings, is a refuge for countless species of marine life. Migratory pygmy blue whales feed around its deep slopes, and green sea turtles nest on the Sandy Islet, the only small stretch of sand.
Scott Reef – Like Nowhere Else, created by Greenpeace, takes you on a journey to this remote ecosystem and delves into the threats it currently faces from Woodside and the insatiable demand for gas extraction.
Created by Greenpeace, photography by Wendy Mitchell and others.
“I’ve worked the last 10 years in marine tourism and I’ve seen a lot of incredible wild places. But they’re all slowly, surely changing. And putting such pressure on Scott will affect it, and the wider effects on climate will have huge effects on reefs globally.”
