The Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest received nearly 60,000 from 117 countries for its 2024 competition, an immense pool from which judges choose just 100 finalists. To bring the public into the selection process, the Natural History Museum, which develops and produces the annual event, has launched the People’s Choice Award.

Twenty-five stunning images are eligible for votes and capture a wide range of biological happenings around the globe. In Botswana, David Northall came upon an overly tenacious honey badger determined to snack on a porcupine despite the spiny creature’s pointed attack. And in Bhigwan, India, Arvind Ramamurthy stumbled upon five wolves—a species with dwindling numbers given human encroachment—playing in a lush meadow.

The contest is open through January 29, so check out all 25 photos and cast your vote on the museum’s website.

Bridging America’s Digital Divide: The Search for Equitable Solutions

More than 35 years ago, an American entrepreneur challenged the monopoly power and anti-competitive practices of AT&T – at that time the nation’s dominant provider of telephony services. Today, government leaders and entrepreneurs are challenging the dominance of cable companies who control broadband networks and operate as internet service providers (ISPs). Today’s challenge is driven by the digital divide and a digital equity shortfall in the U.S. which places many low-income households, students, small businesses, unemployed and rural citizens at a disadvantage.
