Trading to Extinction is a collection of works by British-born photographer Patrick Brown, who is now based in Thailand. Brown is known as an international photojournalist and has been covering the issue of illegal wildlife trade, especially in Asia, for over 10 years. His work has been featured in the New York Times and Time magazine. This book is a shocking collection of photographs that capture the scene of the illegal trade of poached elephant ivory, rhino horns, tiger bones, etc. Through on-site photography at markets and ports in countries such as China, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam, the book records in tranquil black and white how animals are treated as commodities. Incidentally, it was published in conjunction with the International Summit on Illegal Wildlife Trade held in the UK, and was highly praised as a work that visually questions the issues of criminal economics and ethics. A masterpiece of a documentary that stands at the intersection of environmental issues and photojournalism.
