Swarming tadpoles shot wins Wildlife Photographer of the Year award

The annual competition by Natural History Museum, London, is now in its 60th year

The Natural History Museum, London, has announced the winners of this year's Wildlife Photographer of the Year, with the top prize going to Canadian marine conservation photojournalist Shane Gross.

Gross's photo, The Swarm of Life, which shows a swarm of tadpoles swimming through lily pads, was picked from a record-breaking 59,228 entries from 117 countries as the main winner of the annual competition, now in its 60th year.

The conservationist captured the photo while snorkelling for several hours in Cedar Lake on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. The western toad tadpoles are classed as near threatened due to habitat destruction, according to the museum.

"The jury was captivated by the mix of light, energy and connectivity between the environment and the tadpoles," said Kathy Moran, chairwoman of the jury. "We were equally excited by the addition of a new species to the Wildlife Photographer of the Year archive.

"Over the last few years, the competition has highlighted environments and species that are often overlooked, yet provoke the same wonder and delight when shared as the more typically photographed wildlife and wild places."

Incidentally, last year's winning photo was also an underwater image, which showed a tri-spine horseshoe crab gliding through the protected waters of Pangatalan Island, Philippines, accompanied by three golden trevally fish.

French underwater photographer and marine biologist Laurent Ballesta became only the second person in the history of the competition to have won the prize twice, after she won in 2021.

The winner of this year's Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition was Alexis Tinker-Tsavalas, 17, from Germany, for a close-up shot of a tiny springtail bug next to a slime mould.

Called Life Under Dead Wood, Tinker-Tsavalas used a technique called focus stacking, which combines 36 images each with a different area in focus, to capture the moment.

"A photographer attempting to capture this moment not only brings great skill, but incredible attention to detail, patience and perseverance," said Moran. "To see a macro image of two species photographed on the forest floor, with such skill, is exceptional."

Category winners were also awarded for a range of subjects, such as animal portraits, animals in their environment, behaviour of mammals, amphibians and reptiles, birds, and invertebrates, underwater and urban wildlife, as well as three age categories for the young wildlife photographer competition.

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the competition introduced an "impact award" for both the adult and young photographer categories, for pictures recognising a conservation success that shows hope and/or positive change.

The Young Impact Award was given to Liwia Pawlowska from Poland, for her shot of a common whitethroat as part of a bird ringing project to aid conservation.

The Adult Impact Award was won by Australian photographer Jannico Kelk for a picture of a greater bilby, or ninu, a species brought close to extinction through predation by introduced foxes and cats, in a fenced reserve that eradicates the threat of predators.

"Wildlife Photographer of the Year's longevity is a testament to the vital importance and growing appreciation of our natural world," said Dr Doug Gurr, director of the Natural History Museum, London.

"We are delighted to feature such inspiring images in this year's portfolio – these are photographs that not only encourage further wildlife conservation efforts, but that spark the creation of real advocates for our planet on a global scale."

The announcement of the winners will coincide with the opening of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition at the Natural History Museum in London on Friday.

UAE currency: the story behind the money in your pockets

Navdeep Suri, India's Ambassador to the UAE

There has been a longstanding need from the Indian community to have a religious premises where they can practise their beliefs. Currently there is a very, very small temple in Bur Dubai and the community has outgrown this. So this will be a major temple and open to all denominations and a place should reflect India’s diversity.

It fits so well into the UAE’s own commitment to tolerance and pluralism and coming in the year of tolerance gives it that extra dimension.

What we will see on April 20 is the foundation ceremony and we expect a pretty broad cross section of the Indian community to be present, both from the UAE and abroad. The Hindu group that is building the temple will have their holiest leader attending – and we expect very senior representation from the leadership of the UAE.

When the designs were taken to the leadership, there were two clear options. There was a New Jersey model with a rectangular structure with the temple recessed inside so it was not too visible from the outside and another was the Neasden temple in London with the spires in its classical shape. And they said: look we said we wanted a temple so it should look like a temple. So this should be a classical style temple in all its glory.

It is beautifully located - 30 minutes outside of Abu Dhabi and barely 45 minutes to Dubai so it serves the needs of both communities.

This is going to be the big temple where I expect people to come from across the country at major festivals and occasions.

It is hugely important – it will take a couple of years to complete given the scale. It is going to be remarkable and will contribute something not just to the landscape in terms of visual architecture but also to the ethos. Here will be a real representation of UAE’s pluralism.

FFP EXPLAINED

What is Financial Fair Play?
Introduced in 2011 by Uefa, European football’s governing body, it demands that clubs live within their means. Chiefly, spend within their income and not make substantial losses.

What the rules dictate?
The second phase of its implementation limits losses to €30 million (Dh136m) over three seasons. Extra expenditure is permitted for investment in sustainable areas (youth academies, stadium development, etc). Money provided by owners is not viewed as income. Revenue from “related parties” to those owners is assessed by Uefa's “financial control body” to be sure it is a fair value, or in line with market prices.

What are the penalties?
There are a number of punishments, including fines, a loss of prize money or having to reduce squad size for European competition – as happened to PSG in 2014. There is even the threat of a competition ban, which could in theory lead to PSG’s suspension from the Uefa Champions League.
