The competition is one of the most prestigious &#8211; and popular &#8211; events in the photographic calendar.<\/p>\n<p>His winning shot, titled <em>Entwined Lives<\/em>, frames one of the critically endangered Bornean orangutan above the Indonesian rainforest.<\/p>\n<p>Tim spent three days rope-climbing the 30 metre tall tree to set several GoPro cameras that he could trigger remotely. This captured the orangutan\u2019s face from above within a wide-angle perspective of the forest below.<\/p>\n<p>Orangutans are facing a crisis, with their habitats being constantly destroyed by increasing agriculture and logging &#8211; as well as an increase in illegal poaching.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Protecting their remaining habitat is critical for orangutans to survive. If we want to preserve a great ape that retains its vast culturally transmitted knowledge of how to survive in the rainforest and the full richness of wild orangutan behaviour, then we need to protect orangutans in the wild, now\u2019, says Tim.<\/p>\n<p>Sir Michael Dixon, Director of the Natural History Museum, London, which runs the competition, comments: \u2018Wildlife Photographer of the Year highlights some of the big questions for society and the environment: How can we protect biodiversity? Can we learn to live in harmony with nature? The winning images touch our hearts, and challenge us to think differently about the natural world.\u2019<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_96918&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1300px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/\u00a9-Gideon-Knight_Wildlife-Photographer-of-the-Year-Young-grand-title-winner.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-96918\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/\u00a9-Gideon-Knight_Wildlife-Photographer-of-the-Year-Young-grand-title-winner.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a9 Gideon Knight, Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year - Title winner\" width=\"1280\" height=\"854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/\u00a9-Gideon-Knight_Wildlife-Photographer-of-the-Year-Young-grand-title-winner.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/\u00a9-Gideon-Knight_Wildlife-Photographer-of-the-Year-Young-grand-title-winner.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/\u00a9-Gideon-Knight_Wildlife-Photographer-of-the-Year-Young-grand-title-winner.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/\u00a9-Gideon-Knight_Wildlife-Photographer-of-the-Year-Young-grand-title-winner.jpg?resize=1240,827 1240w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/\u00a9-Gideon-Knight_Wildlife-Photographer-of-the-Year-Young-grand-title-winner.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2016\/10\/\u00a9-Gideon-Knight_Wildlife-Photographer-of-the-Year-Young-grand-title-winner.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">\u00a9 Gideon Knight, Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year &#8211; Title winner<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Alongside Tim, Londoner Gideon Knight&#8217;s work has also been celebrated, with the sixteen-year-old taking away the Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year award for 2016 with his dream-like shot of a crow silhouetted against the moon.<\/p>\n<p>Shot near his London home it shows the twigs of a sycamore tree silhouetted against the blue dusk sky and the full moon. This \u2018makes it feel almost supernatural, like something out of a fairy tale,\u2019 says Gideon.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018If an image could create a poem, it would be like this. It should certainly inspire a few lines,\u2019 says Lewis Blackwell, Chair of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year jury. \u2018The image epitomises what the judges are always looking for \u2013 a fresh observation on our natural world, delivered with artistic flair.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Both images will be on display with 98 other shortlisted entries &#8211; selected by an international panel of judges &#8211; at the Natural History Museum on 21 October 2016 before touring across the UK and across the world, to locations such as Spain, Canada, the USA, Germany and Macau.<\/p>\n<p>The competition is judged by a panel of industry-recognised professionals.
