EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an aerial view of an unnamed Indonesian island in Riau province, taken on October 6,2007. The image serves as a stark reminder of the imminent threat posed by rising sea levels to Indonesia's numerous islands. As world leaders gathered for a climate change conference on Bali Island from December 3-14,2007, the fate of these vulnerable islands hung in the balance. The photograph portrays the sheer beauty and tranquility of this remote island, with its lush greenery contrasting against the crystal-clear turquoise waters that surround it. However, beneath this idyllic facade lies a pressing concern: if urgent action is not taken to halt rising sea levels caused by climate change, many of Indonesia's islands may be swallowed up by the encroaching ocean. Taken three days prior to the start of the crucial Bali conference aimed at finding solutions to combat global warming and carbon emissions reduction beyond 2012 when Kyoto Protocol expires; this image symbolizes both hope and urgency. It calls upon world leaders to prioritize environmental preservation and sustainable practices in order to protect these precious ecosystems for future generations. Photographer Yuli Seperi skillfully captures nature's delicate balance between beauty and vulnerability through his lens. This thought-provoking image serves as a powerful visual representation of Indonesia's plight amidst climate change discussions worldwide.
