EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Marco Longari, we are transported to the enchanting Prison Island Park off the coast of Zanzibar, Tanzania. The image showcases one of the 157 giant turtles residing in this idyllic sanctuary, as it indulges in a feast of fresh vegetables provided by the park's dedicated warden. This close-up shot allows us to appreciate the sheer magnificence and grandeur of these majestic creatures. With its wrinkled skin and ancient eyes, the tortoise exudes wisdom and resilience that can only be acquired through centuries of existence. However, behind their serene appearance lies a grim reality - these gentle giants face an imminent threat of extinction due to rampant poaching. Recognizing this dire situation, conservationists have implemented a rigorous protection program aimed at safeguarding these remarkable animals from harm. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our responsibility to protect and preserve our natural world. It highlights not only the beauty found within nature reserves like Prison Island Park but also underscores our duty to ensure that future generations will continue to marvel at these awe-inspiring creatures. Marco Longari's skillful composition captures both the vulnerability and strength embodied by this magnificent turtle. Through his lens, he invites us into a world where humans play an active role in protecting endangered species and cherishing every living being that inhabits our planet.
