Wild Wonders of Europe

Nature Picture Library are delighted to be selected as the official photo agency for the Wild Wonders of Europe project – the biggest conservation photography and visual media initiative ever carried out in Europe.

Sixty of Europe’s most talented nature photographers will document the wonders of an important European natural habitat outside their own country. Twenty six missions are already complete - below you can see a few highglights - and the rest (69) will be completed by summer 2009. A book of the best pictures will be published and exhibitions will tour major cities in Europe starting in 2010.

Many of the participating photographers are represented by NPL, and in 2009 all images from this unique project will be available commercially from NPL. Visit www.wild-wonders.com to find out more about this exciting project.
