The New Big 5

Do you know how the original “Big 5” were selected? They were the 5 African species considered the most dangerous to hunt. As we move away from shooting endangered species with guns and towards shooting them with cameras instead, there is a movement to come up with a “Big 5 of Wildlife Photography!” The New Big 5 project is an international initiative created by wildlife photographer Graeme Green and supported by Dr. Jane Goodall and some of the world’s leading wildlife photographers, filmmakers and conservationists. Expedition Leader Matt Meyer will talk about this celebration of wildlife and wildlife photography and what it means for wildlife conservation.
