Birds fly over the Jordanian capital Amman
Birds fly over the Jordanian capital Amman October 15, 2005. The Jordanian government on Saturday agreed to ban imports of live birds and bird hunting over the kingdom. Lab tests detected the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu in samples from Romanian ducks on Saturday, confirming the virus had arrived for the first time in mainland Europe. The World Health Organization believes it is only a matter of time before the virus develops the ability to pass easily from human to human, possibly causing a catastrophic pandemic.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Ali Jarekji, a flock of birds gracefully soar over the bustling Jordanian capital, Amman. The image was taken on October 15,2005, during a time when the Jordanian government made an important decision to ban imports of live birds and bird hunting throughout the kingdom. The significance behind this action stems from lab tests that detected the presence of the deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu in samples obtained from Romanian ducks. This alarming discovery confirmed that the virus had reached mainland Europe for the first time. With growing concerns about its potential impact on human health, experts at the World Health Organization fear that it is only a matter of time before H5N1 develops into a highly contagious form capable of causing a catastrophic pandemic. Juxtaposed against this backdrop of global health concerns, Jarekji's photograph captures nature's beauty and resilience as these birds navigate through open skies above Amman. Their flight symbolizes freedom and harmony amidst uncertain times. It serves as a reminder that even in moments overshadowed by threats and challenges, there is still room for hope and tranquility. This thought-provoking image not only showcases Jarekji's exceptional talent but also prompts us to reflect upon our relationship with nature and our collective responsibility to protect both wildlife and human populations from potential pandemics like H5N1.
