Benny Rebel approaches a big cat in the semi desert with caution. An Asiatic cheetah is like an icon of Iranian nature. The carnivore accepts Benny in its closer environment. The photographer takes breath taking shots. Rewarded in this way Rebel continues his challenging expedition in a high mood. Deep in the desert he manages to come close to the last Wild Ass, so called Onager. The horse like animals are very shy and rare. From his hideouts Benny observes chinkaras, antelopes and impressive horned wild sheep in the mountains.
Passing the snow topped Mount Damavand he reaches the green north part of Iran. In the oldest national park Golestan not only massive Marals and wild boars roam. Here also Persian leopards and brown bears crossing their ways. Near the mystical forest of Persia the journey ends at the biggest inland lake of the world: the Caspian Sea. There Benny stalks on the pink flamingoes which gather there for feeding. The number and variety of species and landscapes of Iran is overwhelming but also endangered.
On his photo and film expedition Benny Rebel documents the natural resources of Iran - also, to convince the government of his home country to protect their unique treasures of nature and culture.
