EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the aftermath of extensive deforestation in the Amazon rainforest near Novo Progresso, Brazil. The once lush and vibrant landscape has been transformed into a hauntingly damaged expanse, revealing the destructive impact of loggers and farmers on this precious ecosystem. The sheer scale of destruction is imposing, as vast tracts of trees have been ruthlessly cleared to make way for agricultural activities. The image serves as a stark reminder of the pressing environmental issues faced by our planet today. It highlights the urgent need for sustainable practices and conservation efforts to protect our natural resources and preserve the delicate balance of nature. Despite its distressing subject matter, there is an undeniable beauty in nature that can still be found within this photograph. The remaining patches of untouched forest stand as resilient testaments to the resilience and power of Mother Earth. The creative use of aerial photography allows us to fully grasp the extent of devastation inflicted upon this once thriving ecosystem. With no people present in the frame, we are left with a sense of solitude that amplifies both our responsibility towards protecting these landscapes and our ability to restore their former glory. Nacho Doce's powerful composition invites contemplation on humanity's relationship with nature while urging viewers to take action against further degradation.
