"Nature's Boundaries Blurred: Encroachment in Various Landscapes" Sand blown from beach and dunes onto garden in seaside resort town, Lytham St. Anne's, Lancashire, England, January: When the line between beach and backyard fades away as sand encroaches upon gardens, nature reminds us of its untamed power. Aboriginal Children: In a world where modernity encroaches upon ancient traditions, let us cherish the cultural heritage of indigenous communities for generations to come. Fence to protect villagers from man-eating tigers, Sundarbans, Ganges Delta, West Bengal, India, March: As humans expand their territories into wildlife habitats like the Sundarbans' tiger territory grows smaller by the day; fences stand as a fragile barrier between survival and danger. View across wetland towards skyscrapers at sunset with Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo carbo sinensis): Amidst concrete giants that reach for the sky lies a serene wetland habitat reminding us that even urban landscapes can coexist harmoniously with nature's wonders. View across fishponds towards high-rise buildings looking towards Shenzhen City in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone: A juxtaposition of traditional fishponds against towering structures serves as a reminder that progress should not overshadow our responsibility to preserve natural ecosystems. Commercial fishpond with sacks of fish food (bread crusts), boat net and lorry with skyscrapers in background: In an ever-expanding urban landscape where commerce thrives amidst towering buildings stands a humble fishing industry striving to maintain its roots amidst encroaching development. View of wetland habitat with city skyscraper in background Costanera Sur Ecological Reserve Rio de la Plata: The clash between concrete jungles and delicate wetlands is evident when we witness nature's resilience standing tall against urban encroachment.
