The NANPA Foundation awarded the Philip Hyde Grant for environmental photography to Jenny for her work concerning California's Salton Sea. This grant is awarded annually to an individual who is working on a significant environmental project in which photography plays a critical role. The grant is named for the pioneering 20th century photographer Philip Hyde, who dedicated his career to using color photography for the advancement of conservation. Jenny received the award in support of her ongoing work to create a book, educational exhibition, and articles about the history, current problems, and future of the Salton Sea ecosystem. The goal of Jenny's project is to educate the public and government officials about the importance of the Salton Sea, and inspire support for restoration of the ecosystem.
Jenny's photographs of subjects related to California's Salton Sea appeared in the Summer 2007 cover story of Defenders magazine, the conservation publication of Defenders of Wildlife.
To highlight the risks confronting polar bears due to climate change, the Center for Biological Diversity is featuring one of Jenny's polar bear photographs on t-shirts that have the message "Fight Global Warming - Extinction is Forever." On December 27, 2006 the Department of the Interior issued a preliminary positive finding on Center's petition to list the polar bear as a Threatened species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act. A final listing decision still has not been issued as of April 2008, although the Interior Department's deadline for doing so was in January 2008.
