Canadian wildlife photographer Jason Bantle commemorated this year's Earth Day with a new release: an image of a polar bear - in black and white.
"I did ti because I see the environmental issues of the North as black and white,"explains Bantle, whose portfolio features numerous photographs of Arctic wildlife, including polar bears.
"Either we act now, or we don't. Either you are doing what you can to convince those in authority to protect our natural legacy, or you are not."
“The Power of Grey Owl” was selected by the artist, Jason Leo Bantle, as All in the Wild’s 2025 Earth Day print. For us, and for Jason, this is a very special designation with significant meaning. The theme of Earth Day 2025 – Our Power, Our Planet – encourages us all to support renewable energy.
Our actions are our voice. Grey Owl, one of Canada’s earliest and best-known conservation advocates, reminded us that “You belong to nature, not it to you”. This image portrays the power of and power within this owl, power in the message from Grey Owl, and the power of this image to change the way you and I act towards our planet.
