Originally a term used by trophy hunters in Africa, the “Big Five” described the animals most challenging to shoot and kill: the lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo. Nowadays, it is more loosely used to refer to some of Africa’s largest and most iconic animals. However, British photographer Graeme Green has reclaimed the narrative, creating a global “New Big Five” for wildlife photography. In 2021, 50,000 people around the world voted for the five animals they would most like to photograph, or see photographed, in the wild. The five animals crowned the winners are the elephant, polar bear, lion, gorilla, and tiger.
This week marks the publication of “The New Big 5” photography book, which features images of those animals and other at-risk wildlife, from photography legends such as Ami Vitale, Steve McCurry, and Paul Nicklen. Essays from famous conservationists and activists including Jane Goodall and Paula Kahumbu are also included in the book.
Green says that the book celebrates wildlife and serves as a global call to action on issues impacting wildlife, including habitat loss, poaching, pollution, and climate change. Curating the images for the book took nearly two years of work, involving the contribution of 144 globally renowned wildlife photographers from Ecuador to India.
As a reminder of the importance of wildlife conservation, the “New Big 5” highlights species that are threatened by extinction. The book also sheds light on potential solutions, such as rewilding and the involvement of indigenous communities in conservation efforts.
Endangered species from bees to blue whales are also discussed in the book, illustrating the urgent threat climate change poses to animals. Jane Goodall emphasized the need for collective action to protect the natural world for future generations to enjoy.
“The New Big 5: A Global Photography Project For Endangered Wildlife,” by Graeme Green, published by Earth Aware Editions, will be available for sale from April 4, 2023.
