Biography
[edit]Andoni Canela Urizar was born in Tudela, Navarra, in 1969. He holds a degree in journalism from the University of Barcelona and a degree in photography from the London College of Printing (UK).[1]

He has published a dozen books on wildlife and nature and environmental issues.[5] His latest book, La llamada del Puma (2015)[6][7] with texts by Meritxell Margarit shows a journey of more than a year across all continents in search of wild animals with his family. In 2014, is published Sleeping amongst Wolves about the Iberian wolf in the wild.[8][9] Before, in 2013, he published Looking for Fochas, which shows a year of observation with his son in the lake of Banyoles where he lives with his family.[10][11] Among his previous works, La Mirada Salvaje-Encounters with the Iberian fauna stands out. This book gathers more than a hundred animals photographed in freedom in their Iberian habitats and narrates in first person the encounters with the most representative species. Other books of the author are: The Iberian Imperial Eagle, The Cantabrian Bear,[12] Viaje Soñado, Aether and Planet Football. Many of his books have been translated into several languages.
Andoni Canela has photographed deserts, rainforests, glaciers, volcanoes, seas and mountains on five continents. He has also carried out numerous projects aimed at documenting the biology of endangered fauna of different habitats: the Bengal tiger in India, the panda in China, the gray whale of Baja California or the polar bear in the Arctic are some examples.[13] He has photographed in freedom the most emblematic species of Iberian fauna: the brown bear, the wolf, the lynx, the bearded vulture or the imperial eagle.[14] In 2009, he received the Godó Prize for Photojournalism for a report on the Iberian wolf.[15]
His photographs appear regularly in media such as National Geographic, La Vanguardia, El País, BBC Wildlife, Newsweek and Sunday Times.
His work has been exhibited in numerous individual and collective exhibitions in Spain, Portugal, Italy, England and Korea such as El Ártico se rompe, an exhibition counting the effects of climate change on the Arctic.[16] La Mirada Salvaje and Tierra de Linces,[17] are also major exhibitions shown at Natural Science Museums of Madrid, Valencia and Valladolid, Museum of Jaén, Diputación de Sevilla, Bilbao and Botanical Garden of Lisbon.[18]
