Captive Animals Endangered Species Loreto Peru From Above Iquitos Water Surface
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a captive Amazonian manatee at the Manatee Rescue Center in Iquitos, Loreto, Peru. The image showcases the beauty and vulnerability of this endangered species, known scientifically as Trichechus inunguis. Set against a backdrop of serene water surface, the manatee floats gracefully with its head above water, looking up towards an unseen source. Its full-length body is perfectly framed within the horizontal composition of the photograph. The high angle view provides a unique perspective from above, allowing us to appreciate every detail of this magnificent creature. The vibrant colors bring life to the image, emphasizing both the natural beauty of South America and our responsibility to protect these incredible animals. With no people present in the frame, we are reminded that this sanctuary serves as a safe haven for these gentle giants. As a travel destination for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike, Iquitos offers visitors an opportunity to witness firsthand the conservation efforts being made at places like Manatee Rescue Center. This photograph by Michael S. Nolan not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a powerful reminder of our duty to preserve and protect endangered species around the world.
