A tiger peers at a camera trap it triggered while hunting in the early morning in the forests of northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Photographing the critically endangered Sumatran tiger is difficult: not only do few remain, but those that do mostly live in rugged mountains. Information on where to set the camera came from a former tiger hunter turned park ranger. Sumatran tigers may well be the next tiger subspecies to go extinct

1. New Big 5 wildlife photography project in
pictures
An international initiative aims to do away with the old big five of wildlife based on the toughest
animals to shoot and kill and create a new selection based on photography, not hunting.
The New Big 5 project is supported by more than 100 of the world’s leading photographers, wildlife
organisations and conservationists. It is asking people around the world to vote for the five animals
they want to be included in the new big five of wildlife photography
