They represent the skill and talent of photographers from around the planet and the many different ways of portraying the beauty, drama and diversity of the natural world. The photographs were chosen by an international jury for their artistic merit and originality, mindful of the high ethical standards that the competition champions. The final 100, representing 22 nationalities, were selected from more than 42,000 entries from 96 countries. The book includes images of unforgettable behaviour, wild and dramatic landscapes and thought-provoking reportage. This memorable book also tells the often memorable stories behind the pictures and serves as a reminder of the truly glorious nature of life on Earth.
