EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Ricardo Moraes, we witness the devastating aftermath of a tragic event that unfolded on November 22,2015. The image portrays a boat resting at the mouth of Rio Doce (Doce River) in Regencia Village, Brazil. However, what once was a vibrant river now lies flooded with thick mud due to the bursting of a dam owned by Vale SA and BHP Billiton Ltd. The sheer magnitude of this environmental disaster is evident as the river merges with the sea along the coast of Espirito Santo. The boat's presence serves as a stark reminder of human resilience amidst adversity and offers us an opportunity to reflect upon our impact on nature. Ricardo Moraes' lens captures not only the physical destruction but also conveys an emotional narrative. It prompts us to contemplate how such incidents can have far-reaching consequences for both ecosystems and communities that rely on these waterways for their livelihoods. This photograph stands as a testament to journalism's power in shedding light on critical issues facing our planet today. Through his lens, Moraes brings attention to environmental disasters caused by human negligence while urging us all to take responsibility for preserving our natural resources.
