Beauty Beyond the Scars - A Survivor's Tale
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we witness the scarred face of a white rhinoceros named Thandi, who defied all odds and emerged victorious from a harrowing encounter with heartless poachers. Her indomitable spirit shines through her eyes, revealing both sadness and an unwavering determination to survive. Tranquillised illegally by ruthless hunters, two of Thandi's fellow rhinoceroses tragically lost their lives. However, thanks to the swift response of dedicated rangers and veterinarians in South Africa, Thandi managed to cheat death. This extraordinary image has been highly commended in the Natural World Category of the prestigious Sony Photography Awards 2018. It also clinched victory in the Environmental Picture Story Category at the esteemed NPPA Best in Photojournalism contest. Thandi's story serves as a powerful reminder of both human cruelty and resilience within nature. As one gazes upon her majestic presence captured by Neil Aldridge from Nature Picture Library, it is impossible not to be moved by her strength and grace. Let us celebrate Thandi's survival as she stands tall against wildlife crime that threatens these critically endangered creatures. May this photograph inspire us all to join forces in protecting our planet's most vulnerable species before they too become mere memories etched on paper.
