Wildlife Photographer Critiques Badger Culling
Ian Wood received the 2024 Wildlife Photographer of the Year People's Choice Award for his compelling photo titled No Access, which shows a Eurasian badger engaging with street art. This image was inspired by local residents feeding foxes, which also attracted badgers, leading Wood to create a hide for his shot. In his acceptance speech, Wood condemned the UK's badger culling aimed at controlling bovine tuberculosis, labeling it a national disgrace, as it caused over 230,000 badger deaths since 2013. He expressed a desire to see an end to this practice by advocating for vaccination strategies, hoping that his award-winning image will highlight the ecological importance of badgers in enhancing biodiversity and raise awareness about their plight in rural areas.
