Created in 2021, the Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation’s Environmental Photography Award celebrates the beauty of our planet and raises awareness on the environmental challenges we are facing. This book presents the finalist photographs in the five categories of the award: Humanity versus Nature; Change Makers: Reasons for Hope; Ocean Worlds; Into the Forest; Polar Wonders. The photos, accompanied by the photographers’ personal accounts, illustrate the ravages of human activity and the courage of communities working for a sustainable world, inviting us to reflect on our relationship with nature.
