Wilder Britain is a coffee table book manifesto of what is at stake, created as a collaboration of U.K.-based wildlife photographers who continuously observe the changes in our local landscapes and how wildlife numbers keep diminishing. Passionate about re-wilding, all photographers chose to donate their images to this first volume that showcases the fragile British wildlife and the habitats it needs to thrive. All money raised through book sales will be used for carefully selected re-wilding projects.
All images show animals found through field craft, without bait, and which were photographed ethically without disturbing their habitat or altering their behaviour. I was fortunate to have three of my images chosen for the book from my time living in Scotland.
