EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Pablo Cozzaglio for Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the breathtaking landscapes of Ecuador's central Andes. Indigenous community leaders Gustavo Paca and America Gilcapi gracefully traverse the wet moorlands at the foothill of the majestic Chimborazo volcano on February 18, 2019. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the environmental challenges faced by Ecuador, particularly in relation to glacier melting. The Chimborazo and Carihuairazo, two prominent elevations in this region, have been experiencing a significant loss in their glacier coverage. This unfortunate phenomenon can be attributed primarily to deforestation of the moorlands and the burning of fossil fuels. As we gaze upon this photograph, we witness not only its aesthetic beauty but also its underlying message about our planet's vulnerability. It urges us to reflect on our actions and take responsibility for preserving these natural wonders that hold immense cultural significance for indigenous communities like Paca's and Gilcapi's. This horizontal composition showcases an awe-inspiring mountain landscape that has long been cherished by American Indians who call this land home. Its inclusion within AFP's collection highlights their commitment to illustrating pressing global issues such as droughts and environmental concerns across Latin America. Let us appreciate this powerful visual narrative while recognizing that it is essential not to exploit or commercialize it without acknowledging its true purpose – raising awareness about climate change and inspiring positive action towards sustainability.
