The National Wildlife Federation has announced the winners of its 2022 annual National Wildlife® Photo Contest. Thousands of photographers from around the world submitted more than 30,000 photos of wildlife, rich landscapes, and incredible encounters with nature. The collection of ten images of the bears of Anan Creek I submitted in the portfolio category reached first place. I am so honored and excited that the images, all shot over the last thirteen years, now get to tell the Anan story to a larger audience far and wide.
