A Groundbreaking Photography Book Raises Awareness for Endangered Species
The term "Big Five" was originally used by trophy hunters in Africa to describe the most challenging animals to hunt, consisting of lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffalos. However, photographer Graeme Green has reimagined this concept with his global project, "The New Big 5," which highlights five critically endangered species that require urgent attention.
In a global poll conducted in 2021, over 50,000 people worldwide voted for the animals they would most like to photograph or see photographed in their natural habitats. The top five winners were elephants, polar bears, lions, gorillas, and tigers – all of which are currently threatened by human activities such as habitat destruction, climate change, poaching, and pollution.
"The New Big 5" photography book is the culmination of nearly two years of work, featuring stunning images from renowned wildlife photographers like Ami Vitale, Steve McCurry, and Paul Nicklen. The book not only showcases breathtaking visuals but also serves as a powerful tool for raising awareness about these species' plight and the urgent need for conservation efforts.
Graeme Green, the founder of "The New Big 5" project, aims to inspire people to take action in protecting wildlife through his platform. By promoting wildlife photography as a means to educate and engage audiences, he encourages individuals to become involved in conservation initiatives.
The book also includes essays from prominent conservationists like Jane Goodall, who emphasizes the importance of collective action to mitigate the harm inflicted on nature. Her words serve as a clarion call for people worldwide to come together and address the environmental challenges facing our planet.
As stated by Green, "we have a window of time during which we can start to heal some of the harm we have inflicted on the natural world." The timely publication of "The New Big 5" coincides with growing awareness about the devastating impact of human activities on the environment. This photography book is an essential tool in sparking conversations and inspiring change, serving as a reminder that our collective actions can make a significant difference.
"The New Big 5: A Global Photography Project For Endangered Wildlife" by Graeme Green is now available for purchase, offering readers a unique opportunity to engage with critically endangered species through captivating images and thought-provoking essays.

I'm all about conservation & it's amazing to see people like Graeme Green making a difference with his "New Big 5" project 
He's got some heavy hitters on board too like Jane Goodall, that essay from her has me totally emotional 
Can we please just take action already? 
We gotta come together & make some real change for these amazing creatures before it's too late 
climate change is literally killing them! and the best part? the book has essays from Jane Goodall 
I'm not surprised this photography book is getting all the hype. It's just another way to guilt trip people into donating more money to conservation efforts, right? I mean, who hasn't seen a cute polar bear pic and suddenly feels compelled to shell out cash for a membership to some wildlife organization 
. And what's with these so-called "conservationists" always popping up to tell us we need to save the planet... like they're not the ones contributing to the problem in the first place 
. The real question is, what's the real motive behind this project? Is it just a PR stunt or actually trying to make a difference? 
! It's amazing how one person can make such a big difference by raising awareness for endangered species. Graeme Green is doing an incredible job with his project, featuring stunning photos from renowned wildlife photographers. I love that it's not just about showing off beautiful animals, but also about educating people on the urgent need for conservation efforts.
I'm so glad someone's doing something about these majestic creatures we're rapidly losing 
. As someone who's seen some of the most beautiful wildlife up close in my travels, it breaks my heart to see them struggling for survival 
. We need more people like Graeme Green, using their platform to spread awareness and inspire action 
. Conservation is a team effort, and it's great to see Jane Goodall on board with her words of wisdom 
. If we don't take care of these incredible animals, who will? 
It's heartbreaking to think about these animals struggling because of us, but at the same time, it's amazing that people care enough to want to learn more about them and help protect them. I love how Graeme Green is using photography as a way to spread awareness and inspire change - it's such a powerful tool!
