Remembering Wildlife is the collective name for the series of books created by British wildlife photographer Margot Raggett, who was prompted to take action after seeing a poached elephant in Northern Kenya in 2014. She began asking fellow wildlife photographers if they would contribute to a fundraising book.

Through their efforts, they’ve published Remembering Elephants, Remembering Rhinos, Remembering Great Apes, Remembering Lions, Remembering Cheetahs, Remembering African Wild Dogs, Remembering Bears, and in 2025, a collection of favourites: 10 Years of Remembering Wildlife.

Their mission is to create the most beautiful books on a species ever made and then sell those books to raise awareness of the plight facing that species and funds to protect it.

Remembering Wildlife collects images from some of the world’s foremost wildlife photographers to create conservation fundraising books.

Each year, they receive 1,000-2,000 submissions from photographers who donate wildlife photographs relevant to the animal for that year’s book. There is also a Kickstarter fund to help fund each year’s project.

Award Force standout features

• Time-saving entry management
• Flexible judging workflows 
• Online gallery for entries

Raggett has been using Award Force since the program’s inception, and it’s proven incredibly helpful in the implementation and management of the Remembering Wildlife book series.

The program utilises Award Force’s VIP judging, along with voting and galleries to help choose which images will win a coveted spot in the final publication.

In 2025, they opened submissions to a larger number of categories for their ten-year edition of the book, and Award Force helped support the increase in entries.

“We opened up the number of species we’ll be featuring in this year’s book, and the Award Force platform was able to easily accommodate a more ambitious competition.”
