Karl Ammann
Brief Biography:

He was born in 1948 in Switzerland. He began taking pictures of cheetahs in Africa in the 1980's, but soon became aware of bushmeat trade with Great Apes. He wanted to bring attention to people about the illegal trafficking and the bushmeat trade (the slaughter and consumption of wild and often protected animals), so he revealed shocking and revolting pictures. He has also written two books to bring attention to the problem. He does not want people to be able to use the excuse that they did not know about the problem. Time Magazine named him a Hero of the Environment for giving the Earth a voice. They named Karl for single-handedly raising awareness about bushmeat with apes.
