The Wainwright Prize, which aims to celebrate nature and our environment and inform readers of the threats the earth currently faces, have announced their 2024 shortlists for all three categories, and below is the shortlist for Nature Writing. 

Approaching its second decade amidst ongoing conversations around our environment – reflected in the continued growth in the publishing of nature and conservation writing – The Wainwright Prize’s role in amplifying these conversations is as urgent as ever. With a new government now in office, The Wainwright Prize hopes to provide a platform to bring many of the issues covered in the longlist to the forefront of political discourse.
