In July we saw an influx of material from the tropics. Claudo Contreras visited Haiti to document its cloudforest fragments and endangered species, while Anup Shah and French duo Jouan and Rius provided contrasting coverage from Borneo. Other highlights of our July gallery are bold Scottish wildcat portraits and Martin Dohrn's unique starlight photography.
