For the first time, the project will spotlight multiple species rather than focusing on one. This book will showcase not only the winning competition entries but also standout images from the previous nine titles. It will also feature a dedicated section highlighting the plight of the world's most trafficked mammal, the pangolin. The cover image of a pangolin was captured by Tristan Dicks. All profits from the sale of the book will fund pangolin conservation efforts. Since launching in 2016 with Remembering Elephants, the entire series has sold over 55,000 copies and donated over $1.5 million to 79 conservation projects across 34 countries. This competition drew over 4,500 entries from photographers worldwide, with winners representing Australia, Brazil, the United States, Kenya and Namibia, to name a few.

For the first time, the project will spotlight multiple species rather than focusing on one. This book will showcase not only the winning competition entries but also standout images from the previous nine titles. It will also feature a dedicated section highlighting the plight of the world's most trafficked mammal, the pangolin. The cover image of a pangolin was captured by Tristan Dicks.

All profits from the sale of the book will fund pangolin conservation efforts. Since launching in 2016 with Remembering Elephants, the entire series has sold over 55,000 copies and donated over $1.5 million to 79 conservation projects across 34 countries.

Subject: Polar bears, Baffin Island, Canada

About the image: “Baffin Island is one of the most majestic and pristine environments
in the world to see polar bears, especially in March and April when the sea ice has
frozen. However, with temperatures between -30 to -40 it is also one of the most
challenging to ensure you keep your hands warm to press the shutter. We had spent
most of the morning and part of the afternoon with this mother and her COYS (Cubs of
the year) which were likely a week or so out of their den.

However, just as they were settled the mother got spooked and she and the cubs ran off towards a nearby iceberg. We set off to see if we could spot them and when we got to this iceberg I couldn’t believe my eyes. The mother and cubs were huddled together on top of the iceberg.

Subject: Gorillas, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda

About the Image: “High in the canopy of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, two young
mountain gorillas dangle from the branches, locked in a playful game of chase. Their
world is one of curiosity and mischief—tugging, teasing, and tumbling through the
treetops as they learn the skills they’ll need to navigate life in the wild. But this
lighthearted moment is also a testament to a serious conservation success.

Once critically endangered, mountain gorillas are now the only great ape species whose
population is increasing, thanks to anti-poaching efforts, habitat protection, and
responsible eco-tourism in Uganda, Rwanda, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
In a world where every life counts, these two remind us that the future of their
species isn’t just about survival—it’s about thriving, playing, and living wild and free.”

Malawi. Since the successful translocation, pups have been born.

"Enjoying the sunrise" by Mark Meth-Cohn (UK)

Subject: Tigers, Ranthambore Tiger Reserve, India

About the image: “Two sub-adult tiger brothers enjoying the early morning
sunrise” Margot Raggett MBE, founder and producer of Remembering Wildlife, said: “It’s an
oft-quoted fact that there are more tigers in captivity in the U.S. than there are left in
the world, a stark reminder of how the future of tigers might end if conservationists do
not continue their focus and their fight. Tigers are a bellwether for the health of an
ecosystem. For every tiger protected in the forest, there are plants, trees, insects,
birds and other mammals who thrive.”

"In the arms of eternity" by Kim Paffen (Netherlands)

Subject: Mountain Gorilla and her baby, Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda

About the image: “A mountain gorilla mother cradles her infant – a portrait of
tenderness etched in shadows and light. Here, where Dian Fossey’s legacy still
whispers through the bamboo, every touch is a lesson, every gaze a vow. Her quiet
strength shields not just her child, but the fragile future of species reborn from the
brink.”
