Want to send us your photos? You need to be a First Thing Subscriber. When you're subscribed and ready, there'll be a link to submit your own pics in the Picture of the Day section.

Guidelines: we try to be as inclusive as possible when publishing your fantastic photos. However, if you can, please try orient your camera horizontally ('landscape' format) and please, please, try send us as high resolution a photo as possible.

NOTE: We limit our weekly entries to maximum 20. If your picture's not published, please keep sending them in!

First Thing's John Stupart is very much a dog person, but we encourage all wildlife and animal-related pictures.

Are you an amateur or professional photographer? While we don't have money for your pics, if you have a portfolio link or options for prints, let us know when you submit your pic and we'll do our best to include it.

Note: By submitting a photo you acknowledge that you have given us permission to publish them on this site and in this format. You still hold all rights to your work. If you would like to re-use, print, or otherwise use our subscribers' photos, contact us and we'll put you in touch with the original photographers.

View of deforestation in the Ituri rainforest, an area of immense biodiversity in north-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, 18 October 2020. Conflict and governance issues mean conservation in the region is fraught with problems or non-existent. Human populations come into contact with animals and pathogens during activities such as hunting for food or the exotic animal trade and deforestation. With deforestation and habitat loss, animals are more likely to move into new areas and come into contact with human beings for the first time. As biodiversity loss is accelerated by human population growth, these scenarios become increasingly likely.
