EDITORS COMMENTS
A poignant moment of devotion: a mother humpback whale tenderly guides her injured calf, Tahafa, through the crystal-clear waters of Vava'u, Tonga. The young male's pectoral fin bears scars from an unknown encounter, while his body shows signs of battle-weary wear. Yet, despite his physical struggles, the calf remains strong and curious, swimming alongside its protective mother. This heartwarming scene is a testament to the unbreakable bond between parent and child in the wild.
As we gaze upon this photograph by renowned wildlife photographer Tony Wu, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our planet's oceans and their inhabitants. The COP26 Countdown Photo Competition 2021 finalist highlights not only the beauty but also the fragility of marine life. Let us continue to work together to protect these incredible creatures and their habitats for generations to come.
