Excellent Wildlife and Nature Pictures

[Spalea]

Newbig5: " “People are definitely having to push the boundaries in terms of seeking out unusual subjects or trying new techniques to get images that haven’t been seen before, because all the low-hanging fruit has been done a long time ago. People are looking for either technological advances to do new things, or more obscure species and going to more rare places to photograph things that will capture people's attention.”⁠

Listen to our podcast with wildlife photographer and @newbig5project supporter Will Burrard-Lucas (@willbl) in the Podcasts section of the New Big 5 website. Link in Bio.⁠
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, wildlife lovers and charities, including Save The Elephants, WWF, Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund, African Wildlife Foundation, Saving The Wild, WildAid, Wildlife SOS, Save Wild Orangutans, Conservation International, Polar Bears International, Defenders Of Wildlife and Greenpeace… ⁠
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. More than a million species are currently at risk of extinction, from icons to ‘unsung heroes’.⁠
The New Big 5 website has podcasts, interviews, articles and photography, and a free educational Fun Pack for young people. ⁠"
