“Wildlife In Crisis” Conservation #wildographer & @rememberingwildlife #RememberingGreatApes esteemed contributor @maxime_aliaga_photography’s thought-provoking photograph 'Captif' was shot in Malaysia, where young orangutans are often poached from their mothers and sold as pets on the black market. Although it is illegal to hold a wild animal in domestic captivity in Malaysia, Maxime explains that it still “is a mark of richness for some families to have a young orangutan". This power image won the public vote in the @environmental_photographer_oty announced by Prince Albert 11 of Monaco Foundation. * Be sure to follow @maxime_aliaga_photography for more of his wonderful work and if you love great apes, care about their future & fancy a stunning coffee table book then please consider buying Remembering Great Apes, available in all major book stores, including @amazon https://buyrememberingwildlife.com/ #Wildography #PA2F #environmentalphotographyawards #orangutan #wildlifecrime #stoppoaching #captivitykills #protectwildlife #wildlifeprptection #wildlifelovers (at Malaysia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPBc0XoAC_z/?utm_medium=tumblr
