The shadow of a hand is seen on the cracked ground of Jaguary dam during a long drought
The shadow of a hand is seen on the cracked ground of Jaguary dam during a long drought period that hit the state of Sao Paulo in Braganca Paulista, 100 km from Sao Paulo January 31, 2014. This has been the hottest January on record in parts of Brazil, and the heat plus a severe drought has fanned fears of water shortages, crop damage, and higher electricity bills that could drag down the economy during an election year for President Dilma Rousseff.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the devastating impact of a long drought period that plagued the state of Sao Paulo in Brazil. The cracked ground of Jaguary dam serves as a haunting canvas for the shadow of a hand, symbolizing both human presence and vulnerability amidst nature's wrath. Taken on January 31,2014, during what would become the hottest January on record in parts of Brazil, this photograph reflects the dire consequences faced by communities grappling with water shortages and crop damage. As fears grew over potential electricity bill hikes that could further burden an already struggling economy, these issues became even more significant due to it being an election year for President Dilma Rousseff. The photographer Nacho Doce skillfully captures not only the physical effects but also conveys a sense of urgency through this image. The stark contrast between light and dark emphasizes the severity of the situation while drawing attention to our dependence on natural resources. As we gaze upon this poignant scene, we are reminded of our responsibility to address environmental concerns and find sustainable solutions. It serves as a call to action for governments worldwide to prioritize environmental policies that can mitigate such crises and protect future generations from similar hardships.
