EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Ivan Alvarado, we are transported to the serene Batuco lagoon, located just 30 km north of Santiago. The focal point of the image is a striking black-necked stilt gracefully wading through the shimmering waters. Its slender legs and elegant silhouette create a mesmerizing contrast against the tranquil backdrop. However, beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a poignant message. Environmentalists and ornithologists have raised concerns about the alarming rate of wildlife mortality in this area. Blaming a nearby sewage processing plant for polluting the water, they fear that it has become an inadvertent death trap for these beautiful creatures. Alvarado's photograph serves as both evidence and catalyst for change. Through his lens, he captures not only the delicate beauty of nature but also sheds light on man-made threats that endanger our precious ecosystems. The composition exudes tranquility while simultaneously evoking empathy within us. It urges us to reflect upon our actions and their consequences on fragile habitats like Batuco lagoon. This thought-provoking image reminds us of our responsibility towards preserving biodiversity and ensuring sustainable practices in order to protect magnificent species such as this black-necked stilt. As we admire Alvarado's skillful capture, let it serve as a reminder that every action counts when it comes to safeguarding our environment – from individual choices to collective efforts aimed at holding industries accountable for their impact on wildlife habitats worldwide.
