Wildlife photographer Graeme Green's The New Big 5 Project set about to reclaim that gruesome, antiquated term by asking people around the world to vote on the five endangered animals they would most want to shoot--with a camera. More than fifty thousand people voted, and the New Big 5 list of Wildlife Photography was born. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e What are the New Big 5? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Elephants \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Gorillas \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tigers \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Lions \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Polar Bears \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e With 226 stunning photos and informative essays from the world's greatest wildlife advocates, this one-of-a-kind book inspires and raises awareness about the New Big 5, and our wildlife world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eFEATURES MANY OTHER ENDANGERED SPECIES\u003c\/b\u003e: An extensive chapter is devoted to endangered species, such as rhinos, cheetahs, lemurs, frogs, vultures, sharks, whales, and turtles. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eINCREDIBLE CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY\u003c\/b\u003e: Majestic portraits, animals in their habitat, and examples of natural behavior from more than 145 renowned wildlife photographers, including Ami Vitale, Marsel van Oosten, Paul Nicklen, Steve McCurry, Karine Aigner, Brian Skerry, Lucas Bustamante, Beverly Joubert, Clement Kiragu, Thomas Mangelsen, Paul Hilton, Suzi Eszterhas, Sascha Fonseca, Cristina Mittermeier, Frans Lanting, Marina Cano, Gael R.

Then, perhaps, other people will become involved in helping to create a world where wildlife can flourish for future generations to enjoy. I believe we have a window of time during which we can start to heal some of the harm we have inflicted on the natural world and slow down the heating of the planet.
