For nine years Karl Ammann has carried a camera as his sidearm, shooting scenes of chimpanzees and gorillas being butchered for sale as expensive commercial bushmeat. Ammann's reports and documentaries convinced the European Parliament and leaders of over twenty African states to sign a proclamation against the slaughter of apes and caused the government of Cameroon to convene a national conference on the illegal bushmeat trade.
Outdoor Photographer Magazine brought Ammann's story to North America last year, Natural History featured his bushmeat efforts last month, and his photos and reports are being seen with growing frequency on BBC, MNET, CNN, Discovery, and ABC. Thanks to the perseverence and artistry of Karl Ammann, we are finally being made aware of this wildlife calamity.
Congratulations, Karl, on a well earned honor.
