It is an incredible privilege and honor to be one of the contributing photographers to the Remembering Great Apes book, Exhibit, and Remembering Wildlife project.
This year’s book launch will again be at the Royal Geographic Society, on October 18. Nearly 30 out of the 60 top wildlife photographers who contributed to the book will be in attendance for the launch and book signing. Unfortunately, I was already committed to leading a private safari in Uganda when the dates of the Launch were announced, so I can not make it this year. However, this has become one of the top conservation events in London and one of the most incredible networking events for wildlife photographers. If you are near London or passing through around this time, I would highly encourage you to attend this incredible event!!! Here is a link to the information.
Remembering Great Apes will be the third book in the highly acclaimed Remembering Wildlife series of charity books and will be edited by Ian Redmond OBE and feature a foreword by Jane Goodall, PHD, DBE. The book will be full of beautiful images donated by top wildlife photographers with an aim to raise awareness of the plight facing gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans and also to raise funds to protect them.
This book has already raised over $150,00.00 towards great ape conservation and is part of the collectors series, which includes Remembering Elephants and Remembering Rhino’s. You can pre-order your copy here.
It made my day when Margot Raggett, the founder of Remembering Wildlife, sent me this picture of the African Wildlife Photographer whom I most admire, Federico Veronesi, holding the book open to the page with my image on it. I am can’t wait to receive this beautiful book!!
Congradulations! I think you are living your dream
What a great honor, Piper. You are one of the best wildlife photographers, ever. Keep up the conservation efforts, which are paying off. We appreciate you.
