EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Amir Cohen, a branch in Israel's Negev desert becomes the temporary resting spot for a swarm of locusts. The image, taken on March 5,2013, near Kmehin in Israel, showcases the remarkable phenomenon that had caught the attention of the Israeli Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. The ministry announced that they had successfully mapped out the location where these swarms of locusts entered from neighboring Egypt. With their swift response to this ecological challenge, they planned to fumigate the area on the following day. This photograph serves as a visual reminder of nature's unpredictable yet awe-inspiring moments. The composition is striking as it captures hundreds of locusts densely covering every inch of available space on the branch. Their vibrant green bodies stand out against the arid backdrop of Israel's Negev desert. The intricate details are visible: delicate wings folded neatly over their backs and long antennae reaching forward. This image not only highlights an extraordinary encounter with wildlife but also raises awareness about environmental concerns. It reminds us how fragile ecosystems can be disrupted by unexpected events such as locust swarms migrating across borders. Through photography like this one, we gain insight into our planet's interconnectedness and our responsibility to protect its delicate balance between humans and animals alike.
