Pangolins in Crisis: Brent Stirton, South Africa; 1st place, Natural world and wildlife. “Pangolins are the world’s most illegally trafficked mammals, with an estimated one million trafficked to Asia in the last 10 years.

This body of work exposes the trade, while exploring aspects of illegality and celebrating the people who are trying to save these animals”.
