A fisherman throws his net from atop a floating boom into a severely polluted river located on the outskirts of Beijing August 16, 2010. Almost a quarter of Chinas surface water remains so polluted that it is unfit even for industrial use, while less than half of total supplies are drinkable, data from the environment watchdog showed in a report last month.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by David Gray, a fisherman stands atop a floating boom as he throws his net into a severely polluted river on the outskirts of Beijing. The image serves as a stark reminder of the environmental challenges faced by China. The polluted river reflects the alarming state of water pollution in the country, with almost 25% of China's surface water being so contaminated that it is deemed unfit even for industrial use. Shockingly, less than half of China's total water supplies are considered safe for drinking purposes, according to recent data from the environment watchdog. The photograph encapsulates both the beauty and devastation caused by human activities. It highlights how pollution has infiltrated even remote areas once teeming with life and natural resources. The fisherman's solitary figure symbolizes not only his struggle to make a living but also represents countless others who rely on these rivers for sustenance. This thought-provoking image compels us to reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving our planet's precious resources. It serves as an urgent call to action, urging governments, industries, and individuals alike to prioritize sustainable practices and work collectively towards cleaner environments.
