We launched our first ever ACE for Wildlife Network Photo Contest this past year, and we are excited to announce our winners! Thank you to everyone who submitted beautiful photos, helping us to showcase what empathy for wildlife looks like through your own unique perspectives. You can check out all the submissions here. We would also like to recognize the efforts of the Advancing Empathy Photo contest working group: Heather Merewood (Henry Vilas Zoo), Shana Kent (Alaska SeaLife Center) and Benjamin White (Blank Park Zoo) – thank you for helping to get this competition off the ground.
Contestants in the photo competition submitted photos to the following categories and further specified their submissions by taxa groups. Please note we did not receive submissions for every taxa group:
- Animal portrait
- Personality and behavior
- Connection and inclusion
