EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by Terry Whittaker, a defiant Pyramidal Orchid stands tall amidst the chaos of progress. As bulldozers and cranes prepare to transform a brownfield site into concrete jungles, this vibrant flower emerges as a symbol of nature's resilience. With its delicate petals painted in shades of regal purple, the Pyramidal Orchid refuses to be overshadowed by looming pylons and impending development. It boldly declares that even in the face of urbanization, beauty can still bloom. Kent, UK becomes the stage for an unexpected battle between conservation and development. While humans strive for progress and modernity, Mother Nature reminds us that she too has her own plans. This photo serves as a reminder that no matter how far we advance technologically or architecturally, we cannot ignore our responsibility towards preserving natural wonders like these magnificent orchids. As part of 2020VISION project - which aims to raise awareness about biodiversity - this image captures both hope and concern. It urges us to pause and reflect upon our actions before it is too late. So let this enchanting photograph serve as a call to action! Let us find harmony between human ambition and ecological preservation because when nature speaks up with such resplendent colors against an industrial backdrop, it is impossible not to listen.
