Happy World Environment Day, John! To celebrate, we think the natural world deserves the chance to show off. Nature photography captures the most beautiful parts of the world we fight to protect and defend — from backyard gardens to national parks.

Over the past month, EDF members and activists like you submitted hundreds of nature photos to show us what you fight to protect and what gives you hope for the future. We love seeing the plants, wildlife, landscapes, outdoor activities and other parts of nature that inspire you.

In honor of World Environment Day today, we’re showcasing a collection of our community’s nature photos in EDF’s online magazine, Vital Signs.
