EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Wider Image: Brazil's mangroves on the front line of climate change" showcases an unofficial community known as "The Train" nestled along the Caratingui river in Cairu, state of Bahia, Brazil. The unique name derives from the mud houses arranged single file along the riverbank, resembling train cars. Against a backdrop of lush mangrove forests and under a dramatic sky, this image captures both the beauty and adversity faced by these rural dwellers. As global warming and climate change continue to threaten our planet, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of nature's resilience in confronting such challenges. The creative use of space within this forested landscape highlights how humans adapt to their surroundings even in adverse conditions. With no people present in the frame, attention is drawn solely to the natural elements at play – from the flowing river to billowing clouds above. The horizon line stretches into infinity, symbolizing hope for a sustainable future amidst uncertain times. Nacho Doce's skillful composition invites viewers to contemplate humanity's relationship with nature and reflect upon our collective responsibility towards preserving fragile ecosystems like mangroves. This powerful visual narrative urges us all to take action against climate change before it irreversibly alters landscapes like these forever.
