EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Chaiwat Subprasom, we witness a remarkable sight off the coast of Kledkaew island in Thailand's Sattahip district. A group of long-tailed macaques fearlessly wade into the sea, driven by their insatiable appetite for fruits thrown from a Navy boat. This offshore island happens to be located within a Naval training base, and it has become home to hundreds of these curious monkeys. The image showcases the unique relationship between humans and animals as the Navy regularly supplies food to these primates. The gesture was prompted by tragic reports of many macaques drowning while attempting to catch fish from the vast ocean surrounding them. It is heartwarming to see how efforts have been made to ensure their survival and well-being. The composition captures both the beauty and vulnerability of these creatures against the backdrop of shimmering blue waters. The expressions on their faces reveal excitement mixed with caution as they eagerly reach out for nourishment amidst crashing waves. This photograph serves as a reminder that our actions can profoundly impact wildlife populations, even in unexpected places like naval bases. It highlights our responsibility towards coexisting harmoniously with nature and finding ways to protect vulnerable species such as these long-tailed macaques who have found an unlikely refuge on Kledkaew island.
