Londýnsky fotograf Tim Flach urobil sériu snímok živočíchov, ktorým hrozí vyhynutie. Venoval tomu dva roky života.
Na fotke je Sajko (druh antilopy), volavka kráľovská (Balaeniceps rex), hroch, filipínsky orol, zlatá opica (Rhinopithecus roxellana) a mnoho ďalších. Z niektorých druhov už zostalo len niekoľko jedincov.
The Saiga Antelope is relatively unknown and would look right at home in the #Cantina from @starwars! They are in fact found on the Eurasian Steppe and sadly listed as Critically Endangered on the @IUCNRedList #TheLastJedi #WildlifeConservation @SaigaCA #WednesdayWisdom pic.twitter.com/ITY7GZ4mll

Common Hippopotamus | #IUCNRedList: Vulnerable | Eradicating the ivory trade will be a tall challenge. Hippo teeth are highly sought after but until the law is enforced on the ground, Hippo fortunes will continue to founder. #Conservation #Environment #Endangered pic.twitter.com/5G5yvAgcc7

Local people describe the Yunnan snub-nose monkey as their ancestor, calling them ‘wild men of the mountains’. They live at a higher altitude than any primate in the dense bamboo thickets of the Henduan mountains in south-western China. @IUCNRedList: Endangered #WednesdayWisdom pic.twitter.com/49o5HMHaDx

Všetky snímky zhromaždil v knihe Endangered (V ohrození). Dva najbližšie roky hodlá pracovať na novej knihe fotografií venované vtáctvu. Podľa jeho slov, chce vyfotografovať “všetky, počnúc sliepkami až po orly.” Na svojom účte na Twitteri už zverejnil prvé foto v rámci tohto projektu. Je na ňom sova fúzatá.
On #NationalBirdDay here’s a sneak peek at the first image of my proposed bird book. Over the next 2 years I’ll be photographing everything from Chickens to Eagles! Abe is a Great Grey Owl, part of the @LondonFalconry team. Any suggestions of ‘must have’ birds for this book? pic.twitter.com/R9bIH0o2ru
