Wild Wonders of Europe Photography Project Launches
The Wild Wonders of Europe has launched. It is an online photography project trying to generate interest in Europe's wildlife.
"Most of us Europeans today know more about nature in Africa or North America, than we know about Europe. How many Swedes know anything about nature in Bulgaria? How many Irish know anything about nature in Belarus? Or vice versa! This is all part of a natural heritage that we share. But how are you supposed to care about something that you have never even seen or heard about?" says Staffan Widstrand, photographer and writer from Sweden, Managing Director of Wild Wonders of Europe.
The launch of the website is also the start of the countdown to the Great Quest in which 50 of Europe's leading nature photographers will travel on more than 90 assignments to every country in Europe. The Great Quest begins in May, 2008.
