Remembering Great Apes is the third book in the Remembering Wildlife series and by covering gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans, is our most ambitious yet. Once again many of the world’s top wildlife photographers, from Tim Laman to Brent Stirton, Art Wolfe to Frans Lanting, have already answered our call to donate images and the book will feature more than 70 stunning photographs.

We are excited to premier with you, our wonderful previous supporters of Remembering Great Apes, the video for our upcoming Kickstarter campaign for Remembering Bears. The Remembering Wildlife series has now reached the milestone of $1.2m USD (£917,000 GBP) distributed to 56 conservation projects in 24 countries via the sale of 33,0000 books so far. And none of that would have been possible without the funding you gave us on Kickstarter. THANK YOU! We hope we justified your faith in us.
The Kickstarter for the 7th book in the series, Remembering Bears, will go live 9am GMT this coming Friday, 1st April. As usual we have many wonderful rewards, from books to jewellery, artworks to safaris. Please set your alarms to be there early if you want to grab a bargain. And please wish us luck! We never take the support for granted.
With gratitude,
Margot Raggett (founder) & the Remembering Wildlife team "Team Wildlife"
Fundraising update and new Kickstarter beginning tomorrow!

Hello everyone, it has been a while since we’ve communicated with our supporters here on our progress since Remembering Great Apes was published, so we wanted to send you a quick update to say that the series has now raised over $1 MILLION USD for conservation projects to date! I know many of you are serial supporters (THANK YOU) so sorry if you see this message from me multiple times today but I wanted to let all past supporters know this news, thank you for all your previous support and also to let you know that we have a new Kickstarter for the 6th book in the series starting tomorrow.
Over the course of the past five years we've managed to translate every £1 someone like you supported us with on Kickstarter, into an eventual donation worth £1.30. We've supported 49 projects in 23 countries . You can read more about many of them and other previous donations on our website here which we will be updating again soon, as the current page has become too full! We've also put a video together here about the story of the series over the past five years, which you might enjoy watching.
The 6th book in the Remembering Wildlife series will be on African Wild Dogs. The wild dog is one of the world’s most endangered mammals but also far less known than other species that we’ve featured in the series so far, such as cheetah and lions. They face just as many threats however, from habitat loss to disease and of course conflict with humans. We believe they deserve their story to be told just as much as the other animals we’ve highlighted so far but as ever, we need help to get their book made. We are therefore be launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund this year's book tomorrow (Friday 5th March) at around 9am UK time. If you’d like to sign up for an alert once we go live, click here.

As with all of our previous books, this project is only made possible by the generous donation of images for the book by over 70 of the world's best wildlife photographers, working together under the banner of 'Wildlife Photographers United'. Contributors this year include Marsel van Oosten, Jonathan and Angela Scott, Art Wolfe, Frans Lanting, Greg du Toit, Charlie Hamilton James and many more.
Rewards will be as wonderful and as tempting as in previous years, from safaris to camera gear, bespoke jewellery to original artworks...and of course the books themselves. We hope many of you will want to add this to your collection of our books, because of course, none of us want to just remember them in picture books.
With gratitude,
Margot Raggett (founder) & the Remembering Wildlife team "Team Wildlife"
