EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the serene Cherniye Zemli (Black Earth) Nature Reserve in Kalmykia, Russia. The image captures a moment of tranquility as a female Saiga antelope gracefully grazes amidst the vast steppe landscape. The Saiga antelope, scientifically known as Saiga tatarica, is an endangered species that can be found in Europe and parts of Asia. These majestic creatures belong to the artiodactyla family and are classified as bovids. With their distinctively shaped noses and elegant horns, they have become icons of the Eurasian steppes. Photographed by Igor Shpilenok, an acclaimed wildlife photographer affiliated with Wild Wonders of Europe / Shpilenok, this print beautifully showcases the natural beauty and diversity found within our world's reserves. Shpilenok's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate every nuance of this female Saiga antelope's presence. As we gaze upon this photograph, we cannot help but feel a sense of awe at nature's wonders and contemplate our responsibility towards conservation efforts. The Black Earth Nature Reserve serves as a sanctuary for these magnificent mammals who face numerous threats due to habitat loss and illegal hunting. This particular image was taken in May 2009 during an indoor exhibition organized by WWE (Wild Wonders of Europe). It reminds us that even within controlled environments like exhibitions or reserves, there is still much work to be done in protecting vulnerable species such as the Saiga antelope. Let this remarkable photo serve as a reminder that it is up to us to ensure these incredible creatures continue grazing peacefully on our planet for generations to come.
