Excellent Wildlife and Nature Pictures

[Spalea]

newbig5: " “I get most excited when I'm photographing black rhinos. Ever curious and commanding, there is never a dull moment. Or when I see a rhino image that captures the spirit of this modern-day dinosaur. With the head up, from the tips of the two horns to the curve of the back, and the skin-like armour, there really is nothing that compares with this profile of an icon. Here is an animal that has roamed planet Earth for 50 million years, survived the ice age, and can survive almost anything, except human greed.”⁠

The New Big 5 project is an international initiative to create a New Big 5 of Wildlife Photography: the Big 5 of photography, rather than hunting. Shooting with a camera, not a gun.⁠
⁠
Supported by +100 photographers, conservationists and wildlife lovers, including Dr Jane Goodall, Ami Vitale, Moby, Steve McCurry, Nick Brandt, Marina Cano, Daisy Gilardini, Tim Laman, Sandesh Kadur, Greg du Toit, Thomas D Mangelsen and more.⁠
⁠
VOTE (on the New Big 5 website) for the 5 animals you want to be included in the New Big 5 of Wildlife Photography.⁠
⁠
The old big 5 was based on the 5 toughest animals in Africa for colonial hunters to shoot and kill. The New Big 5 of wildlife photography will include animals from around the world…⁠
⁠
Which animals will make the New Big 5?⁠

The world’s wildlife is in crisis. The next 10 years are critical. More than a million species are currently at risk of extinction, from icons to ‘unsung heroes’.⁠ "
