He endangers African Wild Dogs are immortal in a new book that contains stunning images donated by leading wildlife photographers.
The commemoration of the African wild dog aims to raise awareness and funding of the animal plight, and the research supporting the book shows that the public knows little about it.
This publication is part of a series of photography books titled Remember wild animals It has donated more than 1.1 million U.S. dollars (£850,000) to protect endangered wildlife and has recorded elephants, rhinos, lions and cheetahs.
Margot Raggett, the founder and producer of “Remember Wild Animals”, said: “African wild dogs are one of the most misunderstood mammals. We have learned about their ignorance through our research. The degree and the degree of ignorance of the remaining quantity is shocking.
“There is an opportunity not only to raise awareness, but also to raise funds to protect them. That is the purpose of this series. We don’t want to just remember them in picture books.”
Research conducted by Remember Wildlife shows that more than one-third (38%) of adults in the UK have never even heard of this species.
African wild dogs, also known as painted dogs or painted wolves, were once widely distributed in sub-Saharan Africa, but due to problems such as reduced habitats and conflicts with humans, there are now only about 660 breeding herds—about 6,600 in total. Animals-stay in the wild. Humans and predators.
The survey also found that the public has misunderstandings about dogs. Nearly half (46%) of the respondents mistakenly believe that there are more than 10,000 left in the wild, and only 44% of the respondents are confident to know the difference between African wild dogs and African wild dogs. . For a hyena, 56% of people are not sure if they can tell the difference.
Commemorating the African Wild Dogs showcases stunning images donated by world-leading wildlife photographers such as Marsel van Oosten, Frans Lanting and Greg du Toit, from thousands of participants in a competition launched earlier this year 10 pictures were selected.
All profits from these books go to conservation projects, many of which were struggling for funding during the pandemic.
The Wildlife Memorial series was created by wildlife photographer Margot Raggett. After witnessing the aftermath of the poaching of a giant elephant in Kenya, she set out to produce the most beautiful book about this species. Raise funds for wildlife protection.
Since the publication of the first book in 2016, “Remembering Wild Animals” has collaborated with nearly 200 photographers, sold more than 32,000 copies, and attracted many well-known supporters such as Pierce Brosnan Michelle Pfeiffer Ian Glenn Chris Martin And Russell Crowe.
