Category: Enjoying the Environment
CATEGORY WINNER
On this spring day my wife and I were enjoying the environment and beauty of Battle Creek River. I find it extremely interesting that this photo was taken within four blocks from the heart of Battle Creek, MI. Sometimes we can find true beauty and enjoy nature real close to home or in our own back yard. The reason I chose this scene was of the reflections of the trees and natural framing of the picture in this location. See comments and scores for Enjoying the Environment finalists on Flickr |

Category: Protecting the Environment
CATEGORY WINNER
Bruce Foster, Wildlife Conservation Society's Collections Manager at Central Park Zoo, is working to save the critically endangered Wyoming toad, thought to be extinct in the wild. Through a successful breeding program in New York, there is now a small population of the toads found outside of Laramie, Wyoming, a result of a joint reintroduction program led by the USFWS and supported by AZA Zoos.

Category: Nature and Wildlife
CATEGORY WINNER
Taken early one autumn morning in Richmond park (London's biggest and best park). I had been stalking these guys every morning due to the rut and the mists. The sun was coming up behind them, backlighting the leaves and mists. See comments and scores for Nature and Wildlife finalists on Flickr |
