A golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos)

feeding on a red deer carcass (Assynt, Scotland)

This image has an ecological story behind it.

Not so long ago,

Scotland was home to a much wider range of predators,

including wolf and lynx.

Hunted to extinction,

their demise is more than a loss of a species,

it’s the loss of a valuable ecological process.

Predator-prey dynamics are complex

and play an essential role in healthy living systems.

This deer will not only feed a top predator like a golden eagle

but a whole host of scavengers,

from foxes and badgers down to burying beetles

and the tiniest of bacteria

Nature under threat: a Cop26 photographic competition – in pictures

The Earth Project,

in collaboration with Nature Picture Library photography competition,

aims to raise awareness of the huge challenges faced by nature,

as well as the impacts of climate change on global ecosystems.

Some of the world’s

leading photographers came together to illustrate nature under threat,

linking to one of the main goals of Cop26:

to help protect and restore ecosystems

in countries adversely affected by the climate crisis

Steller's sea eagle USA

A rare, wayward eagle

native to Russia and Japan

has taken up residence

near Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

The Steller's sea eagle

is one of the largest raptors in the world,

weighing up to 20 pounds

with an eight-foot wingspan.

There are only about 4,000 of them left,

and the chance to see one

has captivated Mainers

and drawn birders from around the country.
