The winners of the Rewilding Europe Award – which honors exceptional achievements in photography that reflect the essence of rewilding, giving nature the space and time to restore itself – have been announced. Part of the prestigious GDT European Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, organized by the German Society for Nature Photography (GDT), the Rewilding Europe Award celebrates powerful imagery that showcases the revival of Europe’s wild nature through rewilding.
This year's top prize went to Swedish photographer Staffan Widstrand for his image Iberian Lynx. The captivating image of an Iberian lynx in its natural habitat in Spain showcases the return of this apex predator to European landscapes, highlighting how rewilding efforts are restoring natural processes and predator-prey dynamics.
