EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming print captured by Jaime Saldarriaga, a tigress affectionately lays beside her precious cub in the Villa Lorena animal refuge center in Cali. The image portrays a tender moment between mother and child, highlighting the bond that exists even within captivity. The Villa Lorena animal refuge center serves as a safe haven for injured and abandoned animals from circuses, providing them with care and protection they desperately need. This particular tigress has given birth to her cub while under the refuge's watchful eye, symbolizing hope for these majestic creatures. The wild beauty of the tigress is evident through her striking stripes and powerful presence. As she gazes at her offspring with love and tenderness, one can't help but be captivated by their connection. It is a reminder of the importance of family bonds in both human and animal lives. This photograph not only showcases nature's wonders but also sheds light on important issues such as wildlife conservation and animal welfare. Through his creative use of imagery, Saldarriaga invites us to appreciate these magnificent creatures while raising awareness about their plight. As we observe this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of our responsibility to protect these endangered species so that future generations may witness their grace and strength in the wild once again.
