In honor of Biodiversity Day, we're unveiling the winners of our eighth annual grantee photo contest. 

Our contest isn’t like most others. While we love beautiful images, our primary goal is to share photos that tell the stories of the work that CEPF grantees are doing to protect Earth’s most threatened species and ecosystems.

The slogan for this year’s Biodiversity Day is “We’re part of the solution,” and the images we received illustrate how CEPF’s grantees embody that philosophy.
