IN PERSON: Member Presenter: Ilana Block “Brazil” (2nd Half)

Wildlife photographer, animal lover and Naturopathic Doctor, based out of Montreal, Canada.  As of 2010, when she is not in her office, she is out in nature, waiting for an animal to strike a pose, and absolutely loving it!  Growing up with a huge appreciation for nature, photographing wildlife came naturally to Ilana.  She has won several local, national, and international awards. She was the chair of the nature division at the Montreal Camera Club 2015-2018. She loves to travel, to be out in nature, to discover new places and get to know new birds and other animals, meet great people and share her love of photography through workshops, lectures and the sale of her photos. Ilana has been published in nature magazines and her work has been exhibited at local cafés, art galleries, hospitals, and local universities. Her photographs are all about sharing the extraordinary beauty of animals with you. She feels that the more we know about these incredible creatures, the more we can work together to protect them and their habitat for years to come. Ilana's trip to Northern and Southern Pantanal, Brazil, August 2025. The Pantanal is the world's largest tropical wetland. It's a wildlife paradise and Ilana looks forward to sharing her photos from her trip with you!
