The Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition is the most famous and prestigious event of its kind in the world, it provides both an inspiring annual catalogue of the wonders of nature and a thought-provoking look at our complex relationship with the natural world. These are the unforgettable highlights from the latest Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, drawn from almost 60,000 entries from across 23 countries and territories. They include each of the category winners and incorporate all aspects of wildlife photography, from animal portraits to Earth's environments. The foreword to the collection is by the chair of the competition's jury, Kathy Moran. Each photograph is then accompanied by the memorable story behind it and, for some, members of the international jury share their insightful thoughts. Twenty-five striking photographs from the competition's People's Choice vote are also included. Displaying different styles, techniques and ways of seeing, this collection is a celebration of all aspects of nature.
