Clashing rhinos, laughing mountain gorillas and dozing polar bears – 13 astonishing, incredible wildlife photos from the 'Remembering Wildlife' book series
For the last 10 years, the Remembering Wildlife series of books has been raising money for conservation efforts around the world. In that time, they have raised over £1.2 million ($1.6 million), and to celebrate this magnificent achievement, they have released a new book called 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife
This new release is full of amazing photos generously donated by many of the world’s top wildlife photographers, working under the banner of ‘Wildlife Photographers United’. Contributors this year include Art Wolfe, Marsel van Oosten, Michael Poliza, Will Burrard-Lucas, Frans Lanting and Jonathan & Angela Scott.
Featuring 20 new images alongside some specially-chosen photographs from the previous nine books in the series, the book also contains a new chapter that focuses on the world’s most trafficked mammal - the pangolin.
Here are some of our favourite images from this new book.
