Animosity: Human-Animal Conflict in the 21st Century

By Aaron Gekoski and Captain Paul Watson

The world’s wildlife is in crisis.

Globally, animals are being traded, hunted, poached, consumed and exploited to the point of extinction. This is their story, as told through the lens and eyes of Aaron ‘Bertie' Gekoski, an internationally acclaimed environmental photojournalist, who documents human-animal conflict in the most inhospitable places on Earth.

ANIMOSITY is a collection of powerful photographs and absorbing tales from the frontline of conservation: from Cambodia’s dog-drowning dungeons and West Africa’s voodoo markets, to cruel Wildlife Tourism Attractions and the shadowy world of the exotic pet trade.

Conflict, conservation, and the battle to coexist: ANIMOSITY is the story of our generation, our legacy.

Numerous animal welfare NGOs have lent their backing to the book including Born Free Foundation, Four Paws, World Animal Protection, International Animal Rescue, PETA & Scubazoo, while world famous actresses Shannon Elizabeth and Amy Jackson have written moving testimonies for the book.

The foreword has been written by one of the best-known environmental activists in the world, Captain Paul Watson, founder of the Sea Shepherd conservation society and a co-founder of Greenpeace.
