That’s the philosophy behind the World Nature Photography Awards, now in its fourth edition, a global nature and wildlife photography contest for planet Earth.

The mission of the World Nature Photography Awards is to celebrate the world’s best nature photographers whilst showcasing nature’s beauty to a wider audience. And, what’s more, to show their commitment to the planet, the organiser commit to plant a tree for every time someone enters the competition.
