A man named Wim van den Heever won a big photo contest. He took a picture of a brown hyena in an old town in Namibia. He waited ten years to get this photo. The brown hyena is a very rare animal.

Many other people also won prizes for their animal and nature photos. Some took pictures of birds, frogs, and insects. Others showed animals in water, forests, and mountains. Some photos show how people and animals live together.

The contest wants people to see the beauty of nature. It also wants people to know that animals and plants need help. Many animals lose their homes, and some are in danger. The photos help people learn about nature and why it is important.
