Winner of the 2025 Tigers in America-Global Federation of Animal Sanctuaries annual photo and video contest to celebrate International Tiger Day.
Guest judge Jo-Anne McArthur had this to say about the photo:
‘What Are We Teaching?’ stands out in this competition with a strong message. Tigers are in the predicament they are in because of humans, and here we have a young human in the picture. The photo speaks of animals, culture, oppression, learning, and, the potential for a better future. What will this child learn? It’s up to us to teach. This image also has a unique composition, the two subjects are looking toward each other. Congratulations on a strong and emotive image!
