A live aid moment for Wildlife

Margot Raggett MBE left a corporate career in PR in London in 2010, in order to concentrate on her love of wildlife photography. She was a regular ‘Photographer in Residence’ at Entim Camp in the Maasai Mara for several years and also led photographic safaris.  In 2014 the harrowing sight of a poached elephant so moved her that she founded the Remembering Wildlife project the following year.

The project was a ‘live-aid’ moment for wildlife photographers as they came together to create a fund-raising book entitled Remembering Elephants. Such was its success that it was quickly followed by others  – on rhinos, great apes, lions, cheetahs, African wild dogs, bears, leopards and tigers and, in October 2025, 10 years of Remembering Wildlife.

300 photographers have contributed to the books over the past 10 years and during that time more than 55,000 copies have sold worldwide, raising more than £1.225m for conservation projects in Africa and Asia.

Margot will be talking about the work of the photographers and the books they have created as well as the critically important projects that Remembering Wildlife  is supporting.
