Severe canyon erosion due to overgrazing
Canyon erosion. Severe erosion of the sides of a canyon due to overgrazing by cattle. The cattles destruction of much of the stabilising vegetation has resulted in soil loss and the creation of deep gullies by later rainfall. Only coniferous trees now remain on the canyons sides. Photographed in Nicola River Canyon, British Columbia, Canada

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating effects of overgrazing on the stunning landscape of Nicola River Canyon in British Columbia, Canada. The severe erosion caused by cattle grazing has left a lasting impact on the canyon's sides, resulting in significant soil loss and the formation of deep gullies during subsequent rainfall. The destructive behavior of these cattle has stripped away much of the crucial stabilizing vegetation that once adorned this magnificent canyon. What remains now are only resilient coniferous trees clinging to the steep slopes, serving as a reminder of nature's resilience even in the face of such devastation. The image showcases a remarkable example of geology at work, displaying how weathering and erosion can dramatically shape our planet's features. The intricate patterns etched into the canyon walls tell a story of relentless forces carving their way through time. It serves as an important reminder for us to recognize and address human activities that contribute to soil erosion and environmental degradation. This photograph is not just a visual spectacle but also an educational tool highlighting the consequences we face when we neglect our responsibility towards sustainable land management practices. Captured by Science Photo Library, this powerful image invites contemplation about our role in preserving Earth's natural wonders for future generations.
