The awards were cofounded by a pair of photographers who aim to promote wildlife conservation through humor. They said the photos are a reminder that wildlife is unique and wonderful and “we must do all we can to protect it.

“Our world is extraordinarily beautiful and interconnected, yet the human race is doing its best to over-exploit and damage it,” said co-founder Paul Joynson-Hicks. “Issues of wildlife conservation and sustainability are gaining momentum globally, yet the messages and images tend to be negative, depressing and enervating.”
