SUMMARY
Jan Wieczorek's award-winning monochrome photograph captures beavers in an urban wetland, demonstrating that rewilding can thrive alongside human environments. The image, taken with a Sony A7R III and a 16-35mm f/4 lens, features two beavers touching noses near a housing development, illustrating the possibility of coexistence. Wieczorek, who has observed these beavers for 15 years, aimed to show nature's presence close to homes. The photograph won the Rewilding Europe Award, a category within the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, for its depiction of human-wildlife relationships.
