EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Rebecca Naden, we witness a heartwarming moment between Nkosi, a critically endangered Eastern Black Rhino, and its dedicated keeper at Folly Farm and Zoo in Pembrokeshire, Wales. The image captures the essence of conservation efforts as Nkosi is being gently hosed down by its keeper on a sunny day in July 2019. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this magnificent wild animal. With its powerful horn and solitary presence, Nkosi stands as a symbol of strength and resilience amidst the challenges faced by endangered species worldwide. As water splashes around him, it becomes evident that this act serves not only as refreshment but also as a means for cooling off under the scorching weather. The creative use of spraying water showcases both the bond between human caretakers and animals in their care, as well as our responsibility to protect these creatures from extinction. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely focused on Nkosi's side view - an intimate glimpse into his world. This thought-provoking image reminds us of the urgent need to safeguard our natural heritage and preserve wildlife habitats for future generations. Rebecca Naden's photograph beautifully encapsulates nature's magnificence while shedding light on one of Earth's most dangerous yet vulnerable inhabitants – an extraordinary portrayal that will surely leave viewers captivated.
