Remembering Wildlife launches milestone 10th book to help save pangolins
Since its earliest days, World Photo Adventure has followed and supported the Remembering Wildlife series — uniting photography and conservation to raise awareness and funds for endangered species worldwide.
London, 6 October 2025 — Remembering Wildlife will publish its 10th title,10 Years of Remembering Wildlife, on 6 October, with an official launch event on 8 October at the Royal Geographical Society, London.
A decade of impact
A Decade of Remembering Wildlife — and a New Chapter for the Pangolin
Over the past ten years, Remembering Wildlife has become one of the most inspiring photography and conservation projects in the world. Born from photographer Margot Raggett MBE’s determination to make a difference after witnessing the aftermath of a poached elephant in Kenya, the series has united hundreds of photographers, conservationists, and readers through the shared language of imagery.
Since those beginnings, World Photo Adventure has followed and supported Remembering Wildlife closely — and we’re delighted to see the project reach a remarkable milestone: the publication of its tenth book, 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife, released on 6 October 2025, with an official launch at the Royal Geographical Society, London, on 8 October.
Ten Books. One Mission. Countless Lives Touched.
The Remembering Wildlife series has never been just about beautiful photography — it’s about impact. Since the first title, Remembering Elephants, appeared in 2016, more than 55,000 copies have been sold worldwide, raising over £1.23 million GBP ($1.58 million USD) for conservation work in 34 countries. Close to 300 photographers have contributed their images, with every book focusing on a single threatened species.
This latest edition celebrates that journey. 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife brings together some of the most memorable photographs from past books, as well as new work — including a powerful section dedicated to the pangolin, the world’s most trafficked mammal.
The book also features 20 winning images from a competition that invited photographers worldwide to earn a place in the pages of this landmark volume. Its elegant cover, photographed by Tristan Dicks, features a pangolin — a fitting symbol of quiet strength and vulnerability.
The Pangolin: Ancient, Gentle, and in Peril
Pangolins have been on Earth for more than 80 million years, yet today they are among the most endangered animals on the planet. It’s estimated that one pangolin is taken from the wild by poachers every five minutes. Their scales, valued in traditional medicine, and their meat, considered a delicacy in parts of Asia, have driven a trade so destructive that all eight species — four in Africa and four in Asia — are now listed by the IUCN as vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered.
Beyond poaching, pangolins face habitat loss and a tragic vulnerability: when threatened, they instinctively curl into a ball — a behaviour that makes them easy targets for hunters and can even lead to fatal electrocution on farm fencing.
Photography as a Force for Conservation
“Pangolins are fascinating and endearing creatures, most closely related to mongooses and cats, each with its own character. The scale of the illegal trade may be greater than we realise.
Thankfully, conservationists, researchers, vets, and volunteers are dedicating themselves tirelessly to this fight — and it’s their work that book sales help fund.
This book reminds us what’s at stake if we don’t act — not only for pangolins, but for wildlife as a whole.”
— Margot Raggett MBE, Founder and Producer, Remembering Wildlife
Since 2016, the Remembering Wildlife books have supported 80 conservation projects and helped countless animals — from elephants and lions to cheetahs, rhinos, and wild dogs. Supporters such as Pierce Brosnan, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ricky Gervais, and Russell Crowe have all lent their voices to the cause.
The Launch at the Royal Geographical Society
To mark its tenth anniversary, Remembering Wildlife will hold an official launch on 8 October at the Royal Geographical Society in London. Joining Margot Raggett on stage will be Lisa Hywood, CEO and founder of the Tikki Hywood Foundation, and Will Burrard-Lucas, British wildlife photographer and founder of Camtraptions Ltd. The event will be hybrid — open both in-person and online — allowing wildlife enthusiasts everywhere to take part.

More Than Just a Book
At its heart, 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife is a celebration of what can happen when photography and compassion meet. Each book has proven that a single image can help protect an entire species — and this new volume continues that legacy.

Continuing the Connection
For those of us at World Photo Adventure, the journey of Remembering Wildlife serves as a reminder of photography’s unique ability to tell stories that matter — to capture not only beauty, but purpose. Ten years in, that story is far from over.
This landmark volume is the biggest yet in the series, spanning 200 pages and featuring images donated by world-leading wildlife photographers including Marsel van Oosten, Frans Lanting, Greg du Toit, and Jonathan & Angela Scott,who have also written the foreword.
The book revisits some of the most memorable images from previous titles and introduces a new section dedicated to the pangolin — the world’s most trafficked mammal — alongside 20 competition-winning photographs. All profits from sales will support pangolin conservation projects.
Pangolins: ancient survivors in peril
Pangolins have existed for over 80 million years, yet face the threat of extinction. It is estimated that one is taken from the wild by poachers every five minutes, largely for their scales (traditional medicine) and meat (a delicacy in parts of Asia). They also suffer from habitat loss and electrocution, as their instinct to curl into a ball can be fatal near electric fencing.
There are eight species — four in Africa and four in Asia — all listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) as vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered, depending on the species.
Ten years of Remembering Wildlife
Since Remembering Elephants (2016), the series has sold over 55,000 copies worldwide, donating more than £1.23 million GBP ($1.58 million USD) to 80 conservation projects in 34 countries.
Almost 300 photographers have contributed images to raise awareness and fund protection for wildlife at risk.
