BWPA photo exhibition opens in Beijing

A photo exhibition from the winners of 2014 British Wildlife Photography Awards (BWPA) and a selection of China's wildlife images opens at Beijing's Natural History Museum today, in advance of the visit of the Duke of Cambridge to China.

The British Embassy Beijing, in partnership with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), hosts the exhibition in support of the Duke of Cambridge's work on wildlife conservation and to combat the illegal wildlife trade. The Duke of Cambridge is due to visit China from March 2 to 4, the most senior Royal visit to China since 1986.

The photo exhibition, running from February 17 to March 6, includes 28 photographs from the BWPA and 11 images from IFAW, to showcase the beauty of nature, the diversity of wildlife in both Britain and China, and to highlight the message that everyone has a responsibility to protect nature.

"The photographs include magnificent shots of wildlife that showcase the peaceful co-existence of humans and nature. I am glad that we are able to bring these photographs to a Chinese audience, in advance of the visit of the Duke of Cambridge, who has a keen interest in wildlife conservation." Chargé d'Affaires of the British Embassy Andrew Key said. 

He hopes this exhibition will help promote wider understanding of the importance of wildlife conservation and inspire people to support local, national and global conservation efforts.

Established in 2009, the British Wildlife Photography Award were created to celebrate the talents of both amateur and professional photographers, while simultaneously highlighting the great wealth and diversity of British natural history. The competition has captured the imagination of photographers from all over the UK, who collectively have created an incredible series of images which showcase British wildlife at its very best.
