Remembering Lions

THE RESULTS ARE IN! Feast your eyes on the images chosen to appear in the next

Remembering Wildlife fundraising book series from Wildlife Photographers United

R

emembering Lions will be the fourth

book in the charity book series started

by wildlife photographer Margot Raggett

in 2016... and Digital Camera readers have

supplied 10 images to grace its pages, after

entering a competition in issue 215.

Margot decided to take action after seeing a

poached elephant in Kenya, and started asking

fellow wildlife photographers if they would

contribute images to a fundraising book – this

request launched the start of something special.

Remembering Elephants and its successors

Remembering Rhinos and Remembering Great

Apes have together raised more than £460,000

for conservation projects across Africa and

Asia. And with over 2,400 images entered

for Remembering Lions, more than £10,720

has been raised for lion conservation.

Remembering Lions will feature images from

wildlife photographers including Frans Lanting,

Marsel van Oosten and Art Wolfe – included under

the banner of ‘Wildlife Photographers United’ –

and 10 lucky readers of Digital Camera.

The foreword will be written by Jonathan and

Angela Scott. The Kickstarter to fund the book

has already smashed all previous targets,

so Remembering Lions could become

the biggest book in the series so far.

About the winning images

To be chosen to appear in Remembering Lions,

readers had to submit images of lions taken in

the wild (no zoos or sanctuaries) either in Africa

or India. The judges were looking for striking and

beautiful images, true to the original scene, with

nothing added or taken away. Editing should

have been kept to a minimum.
