5 “Post Lunch Nap” By Stuart Malcolm

The world’s wildlife is in danger. This is a sad fact that everyone knows. Illegal exotic animal trade- the fourth-largest criminal industry in the world, the fragile ecosystem, which is destroyed by fires, people who are willing to cut down trees just to build another mall, pollution, and climate change are the biggest threats that are actively destroying the earth. But when you look at this chubby guy taking an afternoon nap, you’d think that there is no cause for worries or tensions, or else how would he be able to sleep like this? Unless he is an overworked salaryman.

Humans have a responsibility to make the world a better place. The pictures people have sent to the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards show how the world’s beauty is fading and teach people about wildlife and how important it is without showing too many painful pictures. Such facts can make a lot of you uncomfortable, just like this seal who thinks its buddy’s body is too uncomfortable to rest its head on.

Those who don’t know much about the history of The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards may be wondering how and when it started: Paul Joynson-Hicks was working as a wildlife photographer in East Africa when it all began. The man was looking at his beautiful photos when he saw two that made him laugh: an eagle looking at the camera through its back legs and the bottom of a warthog. The co-founder then realized that this funny way of talking about the dangers wildlife faces would be a good way to get people interested in those dangers. He was right because it is funny until you see how real some issues are.

In 2015, the competition was made official, and soon after, co-founder and fellow photographer Tom Sullam joined the team. Michelle Wood joined a couple of years later. The organization’s motto is “share the enjoyment of nature and take the time to recognize its value.” Every year, amateurs and professionals from all over the world send them thousands of photographs. They send in all kinds of photos like this one where a mother bear seems like she is yelling at her cub for annoying her all day.
