New book by Circle of Blue collaborator explores the plight of Asian elephants

The newest book by respected international photojournalist Palani Mohan, Vanishing Giants — Elephants of Asia, is a collection of extraordinary images that provoke, intrigue and enthrall. Mohan devoted 6 years and traveled to 11 Asian countries to create this intimate glimpse into the world of the Asian elephant, a creature which — even as its African cousin flourishes — is threatened as never before.

Palani Mohan shoots for Getty Images and his work is regularly featured in many of the world’s leading magazines and newspapers. He has also published three other photographic books. Mohan shot the Reign of Sand coverage for Circle of Blue, a new multimedia report documenting the growing intensity and frequency of northern China’s dust storms, which are the result of deepening drought and the mismanagement of the largest grasslands on Earth.
