Photo of a Proud Lynx Holding Its Prey Wins the 2024 Rewilding Europe Award
Swedish photographer Staffan Widstrand won the Rewilding Europe Award for his incredible photo of an Iberian lynx clutching a European rabbit in its mouth. Taken in Spain, it is a testament to the revival of the Iberian lynx, which had at one time fallen to less than 100 individuals. Widstrand's image of the thriving feline perfectly exemplifies the contest's desire to show how Europe's rewilding movement allows people and nature to flourish alongside each other.
