Animals on the Edge - Making a Difference
The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ lists around 3,000 endangered mammal species. The reasons that these animals are threatened are many and varied, from the destruction of habitat and illegal hunting through to global warming. Whatever the causes, there exists a more fundamental problem - that of the on-going conflict between animals and people sharing the same pieces of land.
Animals on the Edge is an international photo-documentary, conceived by professional wildlife photographer, Chris Weston. Chris will be travelling the world, photographing its most endangered mammals and documenting the issues and personal stories of those people affected by and affecting the plight of the natural world.
The project will take 2 years to complete and will involve assignments across 6 continents, in all types of habitat, from the high arctic to the world's largest rainforests, jungles and deserts. Follow his adventures around the globe and discover how we can make a difference to those animals living on the edge.
