EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image captured by Ricardo Moraes, we are given a glimpse into the struggle faced by the Tembe indigenous tribe in Brazil. The photograph showcases a traditional house belonging to the Tembe people, who find themselves embroiled in a conflict with illegal loggers encroaching upon their ancestral land. The composition is striking, with the full moon shining brightly above the humble dwelling. This juxtaposition of natural beauty and human strife serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between man and nature. The Teko-haw indigenous village near Paragominas, Para state provides the backdrop for this evocative scene. It is here that generations of Tembe have lived harmoniously with their surroundings, relying on its resources for sustenance and spiritual connection. However, as illegal logging continues to threaten their way of life, these resilient individuals find themselves fighting not only for their land but also for their cultural heritage. Their struggle represents an ongoing battle faced by many indigenous communities around the world – one where economic interests clash with environmental conservation and respect for native rights. Through his lens, Moraes captures both resilience and vulnerability within this single frame. The photograph stands as a testament to the strength of these marginalized voices who refuse to be silenced amidst adversity.
