15 Of The World’s Best Nature Photos
Forest bathing, outdoor wellness, ecotherapy – whatever you want to call it, nature is good for you. Studies suggest spending just 20 minutes in the park can boost your wellbeing, and even visualising nature-themed images can trigger specific responses in the brain.
Now a new competition from photography app Agora has scoured the globe for the very finest photos of the natural world, as part of its #Nature2020 competition, and more than 11,000 entries have now been trimmed to a list of 50 finalists.
Here's some of our favourites...
