EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures the heart-wrenching aftermath of a tragic incident that unfolded in August 1987. Two orphaned cygnets, their innocent eyes filled with uncertainty, stand alone after losing their beloved mother to lead poisoning caused by discarded fishing weights. The image serves as a stark reminder of the devastating consequences our actions can have on wildlife. The delicate creatures, known for their grace and elegance, are seen here in their vulnerable state. Despite the sorrowful circumstances surrounding them, there is an undeniable charm to these young swans. Their downy feathers and endearing presence evoke feelings of empathy and compassion within us. Taken by Mirrorpix during the 1980s, this photograph transports us back to a time when environmental awareness was beginning to gain momentum. It serves as a powerful visual testament to the urgent need for responsible waste disposal practices and conservation efforts. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time from over three decades ago, it compels us to reflect on our relationship with nature and reevaluate how our choices impact its delicate balance. Let it be a call-to-action for all who view it – urging us to protect not only these adorable cygnets but also countless other species facing similar threats across the globe.
