The concept of the “Big Five” originated from trophy hunters in Africa, identifying the most challenging animals to hunt, including the lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo. Today, British photographer Graeme Green has reimagined this idea with a global “New Big Five” for wildlife photography, featuring the most iconic and significant wildlife species.
In 2021, 50,000 individuals worldwide voted on the animals they most desired to photograph or see captured in the wild. The crowned winners were the elephant, polar bear, lion, gorilla, and tiger. “The New Big 5” photography book, released this week, showcases stunning images of these animals and other wildlife at risk, captured by renowned photographers like Ami Vitale and Steve McCurry. This book also includes essays from conservationists like Jane Goodall, urging action against threats like poaching, habitat loss, pollution, and climate change.
Green emphasizes that the book serves as a call to action on wildlife preservation. He initiated the project a decade ago, aiming to shift the focus from hunting to photographing wildlife. The book represents the work of 144 acclaimed wildlife photographers worldwide and took nearly two years to curate.
With nature facing unprecedented decline, it’s crucial to highlight the plight of endangered species. The “New Big 5” serves as ambassadors for threatened wildlife globally. Additionally, the book offers insights into potential solutions, such as rewilding and involving indigenous communities in conservation efforts.
Featuring a chapter on endangered species beyond the “New Big 5,” the book underscores the severe impact of climate change on a broad range of animals. With Jane Goodall supporting the project, the book aims to raise awareness and inspire action to protect wildlife for future generations.
