Aaron Gekoski's image of a boxing orangutan received a ‘Highly Commended’ award in the world’s most prestigious wildlife photography competitions - the Wildlife Photographer of the Year. It is also the image he has used on the front of his book, Aniomosity.

Mankind's disturbing cruelty to animals has been documented in a new book by an award-winning wildlife photographer from Leamington.

Environmental photojournalist Aaron Gekoski wants to tell their story through his lens, capturing human-animal conflict in the most inhospitable places on Earth in his book, titled Animosity.

"It is a collection of powerful photographs and absorbing tales from the frontline of conservation," said Adam.

"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."

Aaron has spent the past decade documenting mankind’s complex relationship with wildlife and has won numerous awards for his work, including categories at the coveted Wildlife Photographer of the Year, Nature Photographer of the Year, and Wildlife Conservation Film Festival, and his images have appeared in hundreds of publications including National Geographic, BBC Discover Wildlife, GEO, Men’s Wealth, The Guardian, Asian Geographic, The Independent, and The Telegraph.
