Announcing our image of the decade by Marsel van Oosten Photography In the ten years of producing the Remembering Wildlife series, our team has reviewed tens of thousands of beautiful wildlife images, narrowing those down each year with difficulty to the small selection we have room to fit in each book. This year, with 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife, we had to narrow those images down even further for the selection for this book. And it got us to thinking, if we further turned that task over to all of the contributing photographers to this book to help us, could they in turn help us to identify the images of our decade? So, for the past few weeks we've been asking this year's contributors to vote for both "the moment they wished they'd witnessed" and also, "image they most admire". We expected two different winners but in the end, one stunning image was the runaway winner in both categories and so is, categorically, our image of the decade! Congratulations to Marsel van Oosten for winning the photographers' votes with this magical image of an elephant standing at the top of Victoria Falls. The sense of awe and wonder it evokes fills everyone who sees it and as a symbol of everything we stand to lose on this beautiful planet if conservationists aren't supported in their endeavours, we can think of no more worthy a winner. Thank you too to Marsel for believing in us from the very start of our journey and allowing us to use this image in that very first book, Remembering Elephants. This image is one of many stunning images from across the decade featured in this year's book alongside a section on pangolins, the world's most trafficked mammals. All profits generated by sales of this year's book will go to pangolin conservation organisations. Please order your copy now from our website or all good bookshops and help us, to help them.
