Saying that our planet is beautiful almost feels like an understatement. We often forget to appreciate the nature around us, but if we take a moment to look closer, we can see just how complex and incredible it really is. For many photographers around the world, this beauty is a constant source of inspiration and the reason they dedicate their work to capturing it.
Nature Photographer of the Year (NPOTY) brings together photographers from around the world who capture everything from breathtaking landscapes and remote corners of the planet to the incredible wildlife that inhabits them. Looking through the competition's photos, it's hard not to be amazed by the moments these photographers manage to capture.
While we wait for this year's People's Choice Award winner to be announced, we thought it would be the perfect time to look back at some of the most remarkable wildlife photos featured in the competition between 2021 and 2025.
