Volunteer pets a tiger inside a cage at the Wat Pa Luang Ta Bua

A volunteer pets a tiger inside a cage at the Wat Pa Luang Ta Bua, otherwise known as Tiger Temple, in Kanchanaburi province February 12, 2015. Thai officials last week raided the Buddhist temple that is home to more than 100 tigers and are currently conducting an investigation into suspected links to wildlife trafficking. Authorities from Thailands Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation on Thursday checked 143 Bengal tigers living at the temple, and found them to be in good health.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the extraordinary bond between a volunteer and a majestic tiger inside the confines of a cage at Wat Pa Luang Ta Bua, also known as Tiger Temple. Taken on February 12,2015, amidst an ongoing investigation into suspected wildlife trafficking links, this image captures both the instinctual beauty of these wild animals and the dedication of those working towards their protection. The serene atmosphere within the temple's walls is palpable as the volunteer tenderly pets the fluffy tiger. With closed eyes and an expression of trust, it seems that even in captivity, there exists a sense of harmony between man and beast. The photograph showcases not only the physical connection through touch but also highlights themes such as animal welfare and environmental conservation. Set against an interior backdrop with ample copy space surrounding them, this side view shot emphasizes both the vulnerability and strength embodied by these magnificent creatures. The picture serves as a reminder that despite being enclosed within bars for their own safety or due to unfortunate circumstances like illegal trade activities, tigers possess an innate allure that captivates our hearts. Through Athit Perawongmetha's lens, we are invited to contemplate nature's wonders while contemplating our role in protecting these endangered species. This powerful image stands as testament to humanity's responsibility to safeguard wildlife from harm while cherishing their inherent beauty in nature.
