ABOUT MARGOT RAGGETT
Margot Raggett is a British wildlife photographer, conservationist, and the founder of Remembering Wildlife. In 2014, while on safari in Northern Kenya, she witnessed a poached elephant — an experience that changed her life and set her on a mission to make a tangible difference for endangered species.
Determined to take action, Margot asked fellow photographers to contribute images to a fundraising book. The response was overwhelming and unanimous — and Remembering Elephants, the first in what would become a landmark series, was born.
Margot was awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) for services to wildlife conservation. She has united the global wildlife photography community, with over 300 photographers donating images across the series.
Under her leadership, Remembering Wildlife has donated over £1.28 million to 80+ conservation projects across 36 countries, sold more than 62,000 books, and inspired a new model of conservation fundraising worldwide.
This is out third conversation on the podcast, you can hear Margot talk about Elephants (#12) and Bears (#35) on previous episodes. In this episode we talk about the 11th book in the Series, Remembering Giraffes, an often overlooked species on safari and in conservation. Once again the book is full of stunning images and conservation essays with all profits donated to charities working to help save giraffes.
