The Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards came to life in 2015, thanks to the vision of professional photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks MBE and Tom Sullam. Their aim was to create a competition that not only celebrated the lighter, comical side of wildlife photography but also played a crucial role in advocating wildlife conservation. It’s a wonderful blend of humor and conservation, and it’s all on display in this year’s extraordinary collection
