EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Rp2Dsfihgpaa" we are transported to the serene countryside of Meco, a small village in Lisbon. The image captures the essence of rural life as a majestic cock stands tall on a farm, gazing curiously at its surroundings. However, behind this seemingly idyllic scene lies an important development that has impacted local communities. Taken on October 23,2005, during a critical period for public health concerns, the Portuguese government had just implemented a ban on the sale of all birds in outdoor street markets. This decision was prompted by the global threat posed by the H5N1 strain of avian flu which had already claimed over 60 lives across Asia since its outbreak in South Korea earlier that year. The photograph serves as both a reminder and documentation of these significant events. It encapsulates not only the beauty and tranquility found within rural landscapes but also highlights how even remote villages like Meco were not immune to worldwide health crises. Through Nacho Doce's lens, we witness nature's resilience juxtaposed against human intervention aimed at safeguarding public well-being. As viewers engage with this thought-provoking image from Reuters Images' collection, they are invited to reflect upon our interconnectedness and collective responsibility when faced with global challenges such as pandemics.
