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.

Really excited to share with our wonderful Kickstarter followers this video filmed just for you on press today at EBS in Italy. Printing is underway of this year's book and is only possible because of YOU!!!
Publication date is October 14th (they still need to be bound and shipped to the UK) and your books will be sent out a few days before that. We're printing 5000 copies this year thanks to your generous support, hopefully meaning we'll raise the most money yet with this book for conservation. This is team work!
With enormous gratitude to all of you!

BackerKit surveys are coming!
almost 8 years ago
– Mon, Apr 16, 2018 at 12:54:23 PM
In the next few days, you’ll receive an email from us with a special link to your BackerKit survey. It’s important to respond to your survey as quickly as you can since we need this information to fulfill your rewards.
You don’t need to create a BackerKit account to fill out your survey. When you receive the email with the survey, click the survey link to respond. Answer the questions about your reward preferences, provide shipping information, and purchase add-on items if you like. You don’t have access to this survey link yet, but it will be available soon via email!
After you respond to your survey, you can go back later and change your responses at any time before we close the surveys in mid-September (so for example, if you change address) and get our final counts.
If you need to review your information or pledge status, you will be able to return to your survey by clicking the link in your survey email or requesting your survey link under "Lost your survey?" on our BackerKit project page at https://remembering-great-apes.backerkit.com.
If you used your Facebook credentials to log in to your Kickstarter account, the BackerKit survey is sent to the email address you use for your Facebook account. If you have another email address that you prefer to use, please contact support at https://remembering-great-apes.backerkit.com/faq
Thank you again so much for your support! Book design is well underway and looking beautiful, we can't wait to put them in your hands in October.
All the best
Margot and the team
Reward surveys coming out soon!

Thank you for everyone's patience since our Kickstarter ended. Over the past couple of weeks (delayed a little by Easter), Kickstarter has been collecting the funds for the pledges made and now hopefully has resolved any issues with failed payments. We'll get confirmation of all of that next week and then will be sending out the surveys for the information we need from you towards the end of next week or the beginning of the following. In the meantime, design of the book continues apace and we are excited to be receiving some fantastic entries to the competition also.
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and we'll be in touch soon!
The Remembering Great Apes photo contest is now live!!
about 8 years ago

Every year when putting our books together, we are overwhelmed with people offering us use of their images for the cause. For that reason we created a competition and each year, hold back 10 places in the book for winners. And as you can see from the picture of a previous winner Denise Eriksson below, there's no better feeling than seeing your image in the book!
This year's competition is now live and if you have images of gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos or orangutans taken in the wild, we'd love to see them! Please head over to www.rememberinggreatapes.com to enter. You can enter as many times as you like and all profits after costs will be donated to the cause. The contest is open until 29th April 23.59 GMT.
Good luck, we can't wait to see what you have!
Denise Eriksson, competition winner and cover star of Remembering Rhinos

Just a quick post from me this morning to say thank you so much to each and every one of you who supported us. Our final total of £126,630 is just incredible and beyond my wildest hopes.
We'll start to be in touch in the next few weeks once the money is collected, to gather your addresses and the information we need to deliver rewards. And we'll also be making decisions about how many books to print this year in order to maximise the future donations we'll be able to make.
But in the meantime, please know, your support and donation is helping to give a voice to our closest cousins, those who have no voice except for us. What can possibly be better than that? Feeling more than a little overwhelmed!!
