Incredible wildlife photos from a famous competition will soon be on display at Jersey Zoo. The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, borrowed from the Natural History Museum in London, will be open from August 31 to September 29.
Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust shared that the exhibit will feature “exceptional images” showing “fascinating animal behavior, spectacular species, and the breathtaking diversity of the natural world.”
Rebecca Brewer, Durrell’s interim CEO, said, “This amazing nature photography will inspire our visitors and connect them to the diversity of the natural world.”
A spokesperson for Durrell mentioned that the competition received 49,957 entries from 95 countries.
Ms. Brewer added, “These images remind us of the beauty we need to protect and the threats many species face, highlighting the importance of Durrell’s conservation work worldwide.”
The entries were judged anonymously based on creativity, originality, and technical excellence by an international panel of experts. Dr. Doug Gurr, director of the Natural History Museum, said the exhibition shows “some of nature’s most amazing sights and offers hope with actions visitors can take to help protect the natural world.”
