Originally, the term “Big Five” referred to Africa’s most difficult animals to hunt, but now it represents some of the continent’s largest and most iconic animals. Photographer Graeme Green has redefined this concept with a global “New Big Five” for wildlife photography. In 2021, 50,000 people worldwide voted for the five animals they would love to photograph in the wild, with the elephant, polar bear, lion, gorilla, and tiger emerging as winners.
This week marks the release of “The New Big 5” photography book featuring stunning images of these animals and other endangered wildlife, captured by photography legends like Ami Vitale and Steve McCurry. The book also includes insightful essays from conservationists like Jane Goodall. Green’s aim is to raise awareness about wildlife conservation and the threats animals face due to habitat loss, poaching, pollution, and climate change.
Green’s passion for wildlife photography began in Botswana, inspiring his initiative to promote shooting animals with a camera, not a gun. The book showcases work from 144 renowned photographers worldwide, depicting the beauty of endangered species. With nature declining at an alarming rate, the “New Big 5” serve as ambassadors for wildlife preservation and environmental protection.
Featuring essays on rewilding and the role of indigenous communities in conservation, the book not only highlights the urgent need to save endangered species but also suggests solutions. As climate change threatens animals beyond the “New Big 5,” the book sheds light on the severity of the situation. Jane Goodall emphasizes the importance of taking action now to heal the harm done to the natural world.
