• Resumen

  • More than 1000 rhinos are killed every year for their horns. Photographer Brent Stirton has spent more than five years tracking the ongoing atrocity, and London's Natural History Museum has now awarded his work the grand title at 2017's Wildlife Photographer of the Year awards. The winning image, Memorial to a Species, captures a black rhino with its horn hacked off, in Hluhluwe-Imfolozi Game Park in South Africa. Stirton's work not only shines a light on a species being pushed to the brink of extinction, but also on the issues of human morality and compassion for the animals we share this planet with.
