Nature in Focus Photography Competition

"The most powerful factor affecting our lives and society today is not politics, economics, sports or celebrity, as our newspapers might imply. It is science when applied by industry, medicine and the military. We are at the centre of the issues, but it is now in our own self-interest to find a balance between our needs and nature's." – Dr. David Suzuki
