EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Yuri Cortez, we are transported to the enchanting world of Costa Rica's Butterfly Farm. The image showcases a stunning Heliconius Hecale butterfly delicately perched on a vibrant flower, creating a mesmerizing display of nature's beauty. Located in La Guacima, just 25 km north of San Jose, the Butterfly Farm stands as a global pioneer in promoting the preservation of tropical forests through its innovative butterfly breeding techniques. This farm has played an instrumental role in exporting these exquisite creatures to zoological gardens across Europe, United States, Canada, Asia and various Latin American countries. The photograph not only captures the intricate details of the butterfly's wings but also serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to protect and conserve these fragile ecosystems. It symbolizes the delicate balance between nature and human intervention that is necessary for sustainable development. Yuri Cortez's lens beautifully encapsulates both the fragility and resilience found within Costa Rica's rich biodiversity. Through his artistry, he invites us to appreciate the intricate wonders that exist within our natural world while urging us to take action towards their preservation. This AFP print serves as an inspiration for all who witness it – reminding us that every small effort can make a significant impact when it comes to safeguarding our planet's irreplaceable treasures.
