Fort of Bard hosts the Italian preview world tour of the photographic exhibition Wildlife Photographer of the Year


Fort of Bard hosts the Italian preview world tour of the photographic exhibition Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the most prestigious and important photographic #event of its kind. For this 53rd edition, the prize presented by the Natural History Museum of London chose more than fifty thousand photos, coming from 92 countries. A hundred photos taken with great skill throughout the year 2017 and divided into 16 categories. These wonderful images tell the nature in all its aspects by catching fascinating details and scenic landscapes that visitors could discover for the first time in Italy. A journey through the most extraordinary places around the world.

This year the overall winner is the south African photographer Brent Stirton with his shoot called “Memorial to a species”. It shows a shot rhino with his horn cut off, in the Hluhluwe Imfolozi Park, the African oldest natural reserve.

The Dutch Daniël Nelson won the Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year award category with his wonderful picture of a lying gorilla eating a bread fruit inside the National Park of Odzala’s forest, in the Republic of Congo.
