Spectacled bear’s slim outlook by Daniel Mideros, Ecuador. Winner, animals in their environment. Mideros set up camera traps along a wildlife corridor used to reach high-altitude plateaus. He positioned the cameras to show the disappearing natural landscape with the bear framed at the heart of the image. These bears, found from western Venezuela to Bolivia, have suffered massive declines as the result of habitat fragmentation and loss. Around the world, as humans continue to build and farm, space for wildlife is increasingly squeezed out. Peñas Blancas, Quito, Ecuador. (Photo by Daniel Mideros/Wildlife Photographer of the Year)
