EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, a young boy embraces a tree trunk with pure innocence and determination. The image captures the essence of a Guinness World Record attempt for the most number of people hugging trees, held in Kathmandu on June 5th, 2011. With an astonishing participation of 879 individuals, this event aimed to raise awareness about environmental conservation on World Environment Day. From a low angle view amidst the lush forest backdrop, we witness the unrecognizable face of the boy as he prepares himself for this unique challenge. His small hand firmly grasps onto the rough bark while his body leans into an embrace that symbolizes unity between humans and nature. The creative use of composition highlights not only the individual's connection with one specific tree but also emphasizes their collective effort to protect our environment. As we observe this powerful moment frozen in time, it serves as a reminder that every action counts when it comes to preserving our planet. Navesh Chitrakar's skillful photography beautifully captures both the serene beauty of nature and humanity's role in its preservation. This image stands as a testament to the Nepalese community's commitment towards promoting sustainable living and spreading awareness about pressing environmental issues.
