Originally used in Africa by trophy hunters, the concept of the “Big Five” has evolved to represent some of the continent’s most iconic animals. Photographer Graeme Green has taken this idea further, creating a global “New Big Five” for wildlife photography. In a recent poll, 50,000 people worldwide voted for the animals they would most like to photograph in the wild, with the elephant, polar bear, lion, gorilla, and tiger emerging as the winners.
This week marks the release of “The New Big 5” photography book, showcasing stunning images of these animals and highlighting the importance of wildlife conservation. With contributions from renowned photographers like Ami Vitale and Steve McCurry, as well as essays from conservationists like Jane Goodall, the book serves as a call to action on critical wildlife issues such as habitat loss and poaching.
Green’s inspiration for the project came during a trip to Botswana, where he aimed to shift the focus from shooting animals with guns to capturing them with cameras. The book features work from 144 photographers worldwide and took nearly two years to curate, showcasing the beauty and creativity of endangered species.
Amidst a rapid decline in global biodiversity, the “New Big 5” animals serve as ambassadors for wildlife preservation. By raising awareness of the threats facing these species, the book aims to inspire action and promote potential solutions, such as rewilding and engaging indigenous communities in conservation efforts.
Beyond the featured animals, the book also sheds light on the broader impact of climate change on endangered species, emphasizing the urgency of protecting our natural world. With contributions from experts like Jane Goodall, the book offers a hopeful message of collective action to heal the harm inflicted on the environment.
