Remembering Wildlife has announced the 20 winners of a contest for images to be included in an upcoming book. Reminds me of giraffes.<\/em><\/p>\n

Giraffe numbers have declined by about 40% over the past 30 years, and in some parts of Africa, giraffes have completely disappeared. ‘Remember Wildlife’ aims to fund conservation projects with profits from wildlife sales. In memory of giraffes<\/em>is the 11th book in the series, which has already donated more than $1.64 million to 82 projects in 35 countries since its launch in 2016. <\/p>\n

\u201cA Giraffe Impression\u201d by Paul Joynson Hicks (UK). Masai giraffe, Ruaha National Park, Tanzania.
\u201cAfter seeing giraffes walking through the bushes in Ruaha National Park at sunset, I thought I would try creating a more creative image using random camera movements and longer exposures. Although intentional, I rocked the camera a bit randomly so it wasn’t really just a ‘panning’ image. The light is soft, gentle, and warm, which helps. \u201d<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cSecond Chance\u201d by Georgina Goodwin (Kenya). Masai giraffe, Olderkeshi Reserve, southern Masai Mara, Kenya.
\u201cKenya Wildlife Service (KWS) wildlife veterinarians and Oldelkeshi Reserve rangers are working together to treat a male Masai giraffe injured by a poisoned arrow at Oldelkeshi Reserve in southern Masai Mara, Kenya. The giraffe was shot with a dart and safely immobilized, so the KWS veterinary team removed the arrow, cleaned and treated the wound, and the giraffe was brought back to life and released into the wild. Incidents like this often arise from the complex realities of human-wildlife coexistence in Kenya’s last remaining wildlife rangelands, and veterinary teams on the ground and local ranger response teams play a vital role in giving injured animals a second chance, demonstrating the dedication of those working on the front lines of wildlife conservation.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

“A Mother’s Love” by Thomas Nicholson (USA). Masai giraffe, Masai Mara National Reserve, Kenya.
“We were searching for the famous leopard in the Masai Mara National Reserve, patrolling her territory and hoping she would appear under some bushes. When we turned the corner, we instead saw a mother giraffe with her few-day-old cubs, all alone bonding on the plains. We were in awe as we were able to observe their interaction for a moment, but at the same time we were worried that a leopard would appear and try to grab the baby. Shortly after this interaction, they made their way over the hill.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The book will be published on October 12, 2026, and the 20 winning images will be featured alongside stunning photographs of all four giraffe species contributed by many of the world’s leading wildlife photographers, including two of this year’s competition judges, Wim van den Heever and Darryl Balfour.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhotographers from all over the world have once again answered our call and submitted their striking images of giraffes in their natural habitat to the competition,\u201d said Remembering Wildlife founder and producer Margot Raggett MBE. \u201cThe 20 winners of these competitions have a right to be among the regular contributors who make the series possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
