"The wildlife photographer has raised 1.2m for the cause in the past 10 years through her Remembering Wildlife series, an annual, not-for-profit picture book featuring images of animals from the world's top nature photographers. The first edition was published in 2015, when the Paris climate agreement was being drafted but, in the years since, efforts to tackle the climate crisis have been rolled back."
"Despite this, she has some hope. I'm nervous but equally I'm encouraged by the fact that there are so many people that do seem to still care. I'll do everything I can to keep my end of the bargain and keep fighting. And I know there's lots of other people who feel the same, so time will tell, but we certainly can't be complacent."
"In a timely reminder of how fraught the outlook is for wildlife at the moment, this year's release, titled Ten Years of Remembering Wildlife, is being published alongside original and altered images of animals including polar bears, cheetahs and pangolins living in, and then scrubbed out of, their natural habitats. Raggett said these images were intended to be provocative and to give a glimpse of the future if we remain on"
Margot Raggett has spent a decade raising 1.2m for conservation through the Remembering Wildlife series, an annual not-for-profit picture book featuring images from top nature photographers. The first edition appeared in 2015 during the Paris climate agreement drafting, but climate efforts have since been rolled back. The US withdrew under Donald Trump in 2020, Joe Biden reversed that decision, and Trump later announced another withdrawal; UK parties have pledged to scrap the 2050 net zero target. Raggett expresses nervousness yet hope, and the latest release pairs original and altered images to portray a possible future if current trends continue.
