Pikin and Appolinaire by Jo-Anne McArthur – Lumix People’s Choice 2017 winner (awarded in 2018) Pikin, a lowland gorilla, had been captured and was going to be sold for bushmeat but was rescued by Ape Action Africa. McArthur took this photograph as the gorilla was being moved from her former enclosure in Cameroon to a new, larger one. She was sedated, but during the transfer she awoke. Luckily, not only was she very drowsy, she was also in the arms of her caretaker, Appolinaire Ndohoudou, and so remained calm during the bumpy drivePhotograph: Jo-Anne McArthur/2017 Wildlife Photographer of the Year
