As part of the build up to COP26, the Earth Project, in collaboration with Nature Picture Library, has organised a photography competition to raise awareness of the huge challenges faced by nature, as well as the impacts of climate change on global ecosystems.
The competition links to one of the main goals of COP26: to help protect and restore ecosystems in countries adversely affected by climate change. The full gallery of 72 stunning pictures, along with the environmental stories they tell, is available online.
The competition winner will be announced at COP26.
