Tanlovning gran-prisi

Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2026 tanlovining g‘olibiga italyan tabiat-fotografi Federico Veronesi‘ning «The Aftermath» surati aylandi. Kadrlar Namibiyaning Huab daryosi vodiysida olingan: qurigan o‘zan qumidagi g‘ayrioddiy sudralish izlarini ko‘rgan Veronesi fil oilaviy guruhini quvib yetdi, ularning birida o‘lik bola tuyoq va xortum orasida siqib tutilgan edi. Qora-oq suratni haklar raisi Kathy Moran hayvonlar ongining yurakni teshib o‘tadigan «qorin ostiga zarba» va isboti deb atadi. Nashr filarda qayg‘uning mumkin bo‘lgan namoyalari ilgari ham qayd etilganligini ta’kidlaydi: baland ovozli vokalizatsiyalar, o‘lik tanasi yonida «qo‘riqlash», suyaklarni ko‘zdan kechirish va sudrab ko‘chirish.

Tanlov miqyosi va yosh g‘olib

Yosh g‘olibdan tashqari haklar alohida yo‘nalishlarda yana 19 laureatni 121 davlat va hududdan yuborilgan rekord 65 403 ishdan tanladi. Asosiy yoshlar mukofotini suratga olish paytida 14 yosh bo‘lgan Oscar Whitfield oldi: uning «Labour of Love» kadri Zimbabvening Zambezi milliy bog‘ida ishlayotgan xashak xo‘rizini tasvirlagan. Oscar xo‘rizni uning ko‘z darajasidan suratga olish uchun yerga yotdi; quyosh va issiqlik quruq changni ko‘tardi, bu nomga qo‘shma ma’no berdi. Nashr ma’lumotlariga ko‘ra, xashak xo‘rizlari go‘ngni maydalab va ko‘mib, metan shakllanishiga to‘sqinlik qilib va parchalanishni tezlashtirib, issiqxona gazlarini cheklashga yordam beradi; dunyoda ularning 5 000 dan ortiq turi ma’lum.

Shahar yovvoyi tabiati

G‘olib ishlarning bir qismi odamlar yonida yashashga moslashgan hayvonlarga bag‘ishlangan. Amerikalik Lauren Elliott Photojournalist Story Award olgan «On the Outskirts» («San-Fransiskoning ayyor kayotlari») portfoliysida 800 000 dan ortiq aholi yashovchi shahardagi kayotlar suratlarini hikoya qiladi: hisob-kitoblarga ko‘ra, San-Fransiskoda taxminan yuz kayot yashaydi, ularga munosabat ikkilaman — ular ba’zan uy hayvonlarini ovlaydi, lekin kasallik tashuvchi kemiruvchilar sonini cheklashga yordam beradi. Urban Wildlife yo‘nalishida g‘alabani britaniyalik Seth Forestsonning Bangokokdagi Lumphini bog‘i orqali o‘ljani olib yurgan oddiy suv varani tasvirlangan «Urban Jungle» surati keltirdi; bu kaltakesaklar shahar muhitiga o‘rganib qolgan, bog‘ ko‘llarida som baliqlari va koi karplari bilan oziqlanadi.

Suv osti syujetlari

«Hayvonlar portretlari» nominatsiyasi g‘olibi Aaron Sanders Buyuk Britaniyaning Kornuoll shahridagi Portkerrys plyajida oktopodni suratga oldi: laminariya plastinkasidagi so‘rg‘ich izlarini ko‘rgan u qotib qoldi, panjiradan oktopodning ko‘zi ko‘rindi. Nashr kadni kengroq tarix bilan bog‘laydi: Angliyaning janubi-g‘arbiy qirg‘og‘ida oddiy oktopodlarga qilingan kuzatishlar keskin ortdi — odatdagidan yuqori bahor dengiz haroratlari ularning arealini kengaytirdi, bu, nashr ma’lumotlariga ko‘ra, mahalliy baliqchilikka zarar yetkazmoqda. «Oceans: The Bigger Picture» yo‘nalishida amerikalik Alex Lindbloom «Night-Time Catch» surati bilan g‘olib bo‘ldi: kit akulasi Indoneziyaning Papua qirg‘oqlari yaqinida «bagana» — mobil to‘rli baliq ovlash platformasi — ovlagini tekshiradi. Oxirgi 75 yil ichida kit akulalarining soni asosan kemalar bilan to‘qnashuvlar, to‘rlarga o‘ralish va noqonuniy ov sababli keskin qisqardi.

Suv ichimlik joyi va ko‘rgazma

Britaniyalik James Lewin «The Meeting Place» surati uchun Animals in their Environment mukofotini oldi: yosh erkak fil Keniyaning Chyulu tepaliklaridagi suv ichimlik joyida zebralarga suv sepib yuboradi. Lewin qattiq yorug‘likni yumshatish uchun infraqizil suratga olishga moslashtirilgan kameradan foydalanadi. Kuchli qurg‘oqchilik davrlarida suv ichimlik joylari odatda bir-biridan masofada turadigan hayvonlarni yig‘adi. Wildlife Photographer of the Year tanlovi Londondagi Tabiiy tarix muzeyi tomonidan o‘tkaziladi; g‘olib suratlar 2026-yil 16-oktabrdan 2027-yil iyuligacha shu yerda namoyish etiladi.
