A ground-breaking wildlife photography project, "The New Big Five", has hit the market, shedding light on some of the world's most endangered species. The brainchild of British photographer Graeme Green, this ambitious project brings together 144 renowned wildlife photographers from around the globe to showcase their work on five iconic animals: elephant, polar bear, lion, gorilla and tiger.
The "New Big Five" is a stark contrast to its predecessor, the term traditionally used by trophy hunters in Africa. Instead of being about capturing an image with a camera, it's about documenting wildlife that needs our help. The 50,000 people worldwide who voted for their preferred species will be pleased to know that their voices have been heard.
The project not only highlights the beauty and majesty of these animals but also serves as a powerful reminder of what we stand to lose if we don't act now. With around one million of the planet's animal and plant species facing extinction, according to the UN, "The New Big Five" is a timely warning.
Each image in this stunning collection is not just a work of art; it also tells a story about the alarming threat climate change poses to animals outside of the five featured species. For instance, a chapter dedicated to endangered species from bees to blue whales illustrates the severity of the situation.
Conservationists and activists like Jane Goodall have lent their voice to the project, urging people to take action now to heal some of the harm inflicted on the natural world. The "New Big Five" is more than just a photography book; it's a call to arms, a plea for us all to join forces in protecting our planet's precious wildlife.
The publication of this incredible book marks an exciting moment in the fight against extinction. With breathtaking images and thought-provoking essays, "The New Big Five: A Global Photography Project For Endangered Wildlife" by Graeme Green is out now and available for purchase from April 4, 2023.

I mean, don't get me wrong, the photography is pretty amazing and all... but $200 for a coffee table book? 
That's just crazy talk! And what's with all the hype around conservation efforts? It's like everyone's just jumping on the bandwagon now. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for protecting wildlife and whatnot... but do we really need to be reminded of it in a fancy photography book? 
Can't we just make a difference by doing our daily lives differently or something? 
! it's like we're finally seeing the beauty of nature in a new light - not just as something to be exploited, but as something that needs our help & protection 
. Graeme Green is a total genius for bringing together all these talented photographers to showcase the real story behind wildlife photography. i mean, 50k people voting on which species they want to see featured? that's so cool! 
it's like we're all part of this movement now & i am SO here for it 
I love how Graeme Green and all those talented photographers came together to show us the beauty but also the harsh reality of climate change 
It's giving me all the feels, you know? 
I mean, who needs a superhero when you have animals fighting for their lives? The fact that it's not just about taking pictures but also raising awareness about extinction and climate change is what makes this whole thing so powerful 
It's like the wildlife version of "Game of Thrones" - we're all fighting for the survival of these incredible creatures 
. But seriously, this project is amazing. I love that all these talented photographers came together to raise awareness about these incredible animals and the threat they face. It's so cool to see the work of 144 people in one book 
.
. I've already ordered my copy - can't wait to dive in and be inspired by the stunning images and stories told within!
just read about this project and it's truly inspiring! Who knew voting could be so impactful? The work of these photographers is stunning & I love how they're using their platform to raise awareness about the urgent need for conservation. Climate change is such a pressing issue, especially when it affects animals we never even see 
because it's clear that we need to take action NOW 
. I mean, did you know that one million animal and plant species are facing extinction? 
. Can't wait to get my hands on this book and learn more about what we can do to help! 
. And if we don't act fast, those cute animals from the picture will just disappear forever 
. I'm not saying it's all doom and gloom though. With projects like "The New Big Five", there's hope that we can all make a change and protect our wildlife.
. I'm definitely buying this book and spreading the word
