Jane Goodall: “I hope the photos in this The New Big 5 book will lead people into the wonderful worlds of these iconic species – elephants, polar bears, gorillas, tigers and lions – and so many other fascinating creatures, many of which are also endangered. I believe we have a window of time during which we can start to heal some of the harm we have inflicted on the natural world and slow down the heating of the planet. But only if we get together and take action now.”
