EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of nature's powerful forces at work. In the heart of Moricsala Strict Nature Reserve, located on the serene Moricsala Island in Lake Usma, Latvia, a scene unfolds that showcases both the resilience and impact of Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber). The image portrays a landscape transformed by these industrious mammals. Towering trees lie scattered across the forest floor like fallen giants, their trunks severed by the relentless gnawing of beaver teeth. This display of deforestation is evidence of their remarkable ability to shape their environment according to their needs. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time from June 2009, we are reminded of the delicate balance between humans and wildlife. The Baltic region has long been home to these magnificent creatures, whose presence plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. While some may see this as damage caused by beavers, it is important to recognize that they are simply following their natural instincts. By felling trees and creating dams along waterways, they create habitats for countless other species and contribute to biodiversity conservation. This photograph serves as a testament not only to the power wielded by these small rodents but also to our responsibility as stewards of our planet's natural wonders. It reminds us that even seemingly destructive actions can have positive outcomes when seen through an ecological lens. Through Diego L Lopez's lens and courtesy of Wild Wonders of Europe / Lopez, this print invites us into an untamed world where nature reigns supreme – urging us to appreciate its beauty while acknowledging our own place within it.
