Kickstarter launched for Remembering Great Apes
Following the success of two previous books, Wildlife Photographers United and Born Free recently announced the launch of a new Kickstarter campaign to fund Remembering Great Apes, a new coffee table book showcasing extraordinary images of gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans and bonobos. The book will feature work by more than 50 of the world’s top wildlife photographers, including Art Wolfe, Frans Lanting, and Martyn Colbeck. Legendary primatologist Dame Jane Goodall will write the foreword for this incredible new book, and renowned great ape expert and Born Free Wildlife Consultant, Ian Redmond OBE, will edit the text.
Remembering Great Apes follows the incredible success of Remembering Rhinos, and Remembering Elephants, which have raised an astonishing £300,000 to date for Born Free’s vital conservation work. Support for the project is vital to ensure that the book goes ahead, and there are a number of special incentives and rewards for those who pledge money through the Kickstarter campaign, whether that’s £5 or £3,000 (the cost of the number one limited edition). The Kickstarter campaign will allow supporters to pre-order a copy of Remembering Great Apes, and fund the creation of this highly collectible publication.
Born Free’s President, Will Travers OBE, said: “There isn’t a single great ape species that is not in serious trouble. Gorillas, bonobos, orangutans and chimpanzees. Wherever they are in the world are threatened by the relentless impact of their closest living relatives – us!
