EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Philimon Bulawayo, a magnificent herd of elephants gracefully walks past a watering hole in Hwange National Park. The image, taken on October 14,2014, showcases the raw beauty and power of these majestic creatures as they navigate their natural habitat. However, behind the serene scene lies a tragic tale. This particular watering hole was one of many contaminated by heartless poachers with cyanide in 2013. Zimbabwean authorities estimate that at least 100 animals lost their lives due to this heinous act. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences of wildlife crime. It highlights the urgent need for stricter laws and increased efforts to protect these vulnerable species from such senseless acts. Despite the dark history associated with this location, there is hope within the frame. The resilience and determination exhibited by these elephants symbolize nature's ability to heal and rebound even in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within our natural world but also of our responsibility to safeguard it for future generations. Let us be inspired by these gentle giants' unwavering spirit and work together towards creating a safer environment where both humans and wildlife can thrive harmoniously.
