Every vote in Safari Picture Duel is a small act of attention paid to one of the planet's most endangered ecosystems. Bwindi's mountain gorillas, its 23 endemic bird species, its ancient fig trees and moss-covered slopes — they survive because people care enough to look.
The photos in this duel were taken by people who spent hours in the forest waiting for the right moment. Voting is a way of saying which moments matter most — and the leaderboard reflects the collective eye of everyone who has visited this page.
