“We’re currently experiencing the worst spate of species die-offs since the loss of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. But unlike those past mass extinctions, the current crisis is almost entirely caused by us: humans. The New Big 5 consists of elephants, polar bears, gorillas, tigers and lions - some of the most iconic animals on our planet. They’re a stark reminder of what’s at stake if we don’t change our ways - beautiful representatives of the many thousands of other, often lesser-known species who desperately need our help.” Marsel van Oosten – photographer #Repost from @newbig5project Tiger photo by @marselvanoosten _ The New Big 5 website is “a powerful platform to bring like-minded people together and create a wave of change.” More than 250 of the world’s wildlife photographers, conservationists and wildlife charities have come together to support this international initiative, not only to create a New Big 5 of Wildlife Photography, rather than hunting - shooting with a camera, not a gun. But to raise awareness about the global crisis facing wildlife, including habitat loss, poaching, human-wildlife conflict, illegal wildlife trade and climate change. A million species are at risk of extinction. From bees to blue whales, all wildlife is essential to the balance of nature, to healthy ecosystems and to the future of our planet. On the New Big 5 website (link in Bio), you can find articles, interviews, podcasts, photo galleries, education packs and more, covering wildlife issues and conservation solutions, as well as incredible wildlife photography.

Article looking at habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict with @polarbearsinternational @biglifeafrica @defendersofwildlife @pantheracats ・・・ #repost “When people come into conflict with wildlife, people can be injured, rarely killed.
