Last weekend during the annual meeting of members the GDT has elected a new board of management for the next three-year term of office. New president of the Society is Stephan Fürnrohr, who takes over from Michael Lohmann after three years as president (and six years on the board overall). Sandra Bartocha, who was on the board before between 2007 and 2013, has been elected the new vice-president. New members of the board are Florian Nessler (second vice president), Marc Hesse (treasurer) and Radomir Jakubowski (member of the board).

The GDT would like to thank Michael Lohmann, Marion Vollborn, Paul Kornacker, Ariane Müller and Eberhard Giese for their commitment, and express their best wishes for the work of the new board.

The GDT
There is a society or association for wildlife and nature photography in almost every European country. In Germany this has been the Society of German Wildlife Photographers (GDT – Gesellschaft Deutscher Tierfotografen e.V.) since 1971. With manifold activities, the non-profit association is the leading organisation of nature photographers in Europe. Photographic topics are diverse ranging from classic wildlife images and landscape, plant and macro photography to abstract forms of nature photography. The GDT promotes authentic, unmanipulated images and focuses equally on aspects of natural history as well as artistic values. In addition to members from Germany, Europe and overseas, numerous sponsors from the photographic industry including many well-known camera manufacturers, specialist suppliers in nature photography, publishers and agencies, support the goals and the work of the GDT by their sponsor membership.
In addition to the International Nature Photography Festival the GDT hosts an annual photo competition for their members as well as the open international competition GDT European Wildlife Photographer of the Year. Patron of the competition is Prof. Beate Jessel of the Federal Ministry for Nature Conservation. Together with the Tecklenborg publishing house the GDT hosts also the international Fritz Pölking Prize, wich is awarded yearly for extraordinary work in the field of wildlife photography.
