EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image, Australian Bunna Lawrie and Alan Dargin join forces to perform a traditional Indigenous whale call ceremony on a boat at Sydney Harbour. The occasion is the national day of action to protect whales, organized annually by the IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare) and WADWA (Whale and Dolphin Watch Australia). Their aim is to raise awareness and protest against the Japanese whaling program known as JARPA 2. As Lawrie and Dargin passionately engage in their ceremonial performance, their connection with nature becomes palpable. Through their ancient rituals, they channel the spirits of these majestic creatures that are under threat from human activities. Their haunting calls reverberate across the harbor, echoing a plea for compassion towards these intelligent beings. The urgency of their message lies in the fact that hundreds of whales continue to be killed each year in the name of science in the Southern Ocean. This event serves as a poignant reminder that we must take immediate action to protect these gentle giants before it's too late. Captured by Anoek De Groot's lens, this photograph encapsulates both hope and determination. It symbolizes not only an unwavering commitment to animal welfare but also showcases how cultural traditions can unite people from diverse backgrounds in pursuit of a common cause – safeguarding our planet's precious wildlife.
