A windswept Arctic fox, a murmuration of birds facing a snowstorm in the Himalayas, and a man and a boy in a flooded living room are among the images recognized in this year’s Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation’s Environmental Photography Award
The prize, in its third edition, hopes to deliver a conservation message and show the importance of preserving nature. “Photography is a powerful tool for giving a voice to threatened wildlife and biodiversity,” said jury president Sergio Pitamitz in a press release. The jury, made up of seven professional photographers, chose the winning photos for each category from a total of 10,000 images, submitted by 2,300 photographers from across the world.
Photographer Jasper Doest from the Netherlands believes the image “has the power to inspire change.” Pitamitz noted that this single elephant “represents his entire species in the grip of an uncertain future.” “Doest was able to react in a split second to this sudden event, documenting his story and giving a voice to the forest elephants of Africa,” he added. Other images show the positive elements of humans’ relationship with nature.
