Cette année, que beaucoup choisiraient d'oublier, restera à jamais dans nos mémoires. Pendant cette pandémie mondiale, les oiseaux ont continué à chanter, les abeilles bourdonné, les fleurs ont éclos. Alors même que nos villes se taisaient, dans les forêts et les champs, les voix de la nature ont été plus fortes que jamais. À une époque où les gens du monde entier ont été contraints d'abandonner leurs projets de voyage et de rester chez eux, les photographes de Nature Picture Library ont choisi de pointer leurs téléobjectifs sur les lieux où ils vivent. Privés d'Afrique, Ann et Steve Toon ont trouvé du réconfort dans une prairie de fleurs sauvages près de chez eux au Royaume-Unis. En Australie, Doug Gimesy a quitté le bush pour se confiner dans un appartement du centre-ville de Melbourne et soigner un trio de bébés wombats orphelins. Des quatre coins du monde, voici nos images favorites, les plus marquantes, que nous avons selectionnées cette année pour vous.
