EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Aizar Raldes from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are transported to the outskirts of Trinidad, Bolivia, where heavy rains have caused devastating floods. Amidst the chaos and destruction, a heartwarming scene unfolds before our eyes. A capybara, an adorable and unusual rodent native to South America, fearlessly leads its litter through the flooded area. The water reaches up to their tiny bodies as they swim together in unity. Despite being surrounded by tragedy and loss, these resilient creatures remind us of the power of family bonds and the will to survive even in the face of adversity. The overflowing Mamore river has wreaked havoc on this community, leaving 56 people dead and over 58,600 families affected. This image serves as a stark reminder of nature's unpredictable force and its ability to disrupt lives within seconds. Bolivia has declared a national emergency in response to these catastrophic floods. As we gaze upon this horizontal photograph with awe-inspiring offbeat elements, let us not forget that behind every statistic lies countless stories of resilience and hope. Through his lens, Aizar Raldes captures both the devastation brought forth by natural disasters like floods while also highlighting moments that restore our faith in humanity's ability to endure. This powerful image reminds us that amidst chaos there is always room for compassion and strength - even among animals who navigate their way through turbulent waters together.
