EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a breathtaking moment in the heart of Botswana's Chobe National Park. Against the backdrop of a stunning sunset, a group of majestic elephants joyfully splash in the crystal-clear waters of the Chobe river. The tranquil scene exudes serenity and showcases the harmonious coexistence between wildlife and nature. However, this image also serves as a poignant reminder of an impending tragedy. Experts have issued a grave warning that African elephants could face extinction within just a few decades if urgent action is not taken to combat poaching. This conservation summit held in Botswana shed light on the alarming decline in elephant populations due to illegal hunting for ivory. Photographer Chris Jek skillfully captured both the beauty and fragility of these magnificent creatures through his lens. The composition perfectly frames the elephants against an ethereal sky adorned with fluffy clouds, while rays from the setting sun cast a warm glow upon their wet bodies. As we admire this remarkable photograph, let it serve as motivation for us all to protect these gentle giants and preserve their natural habitat. It is our responsibility to ensure that future generations can witness such awe-inspiring scenes firsthand rather than only through prints like this one by AFP photographer Chris Jek.
