Roped parties of climbers walk on a glacier marking the border between Switzerland
Roped parties of climbers walk on a glacier marking the border with Switzerland (left) and Italy on the way to the summit of the Breithorn at 4, 164 metres (13, 661 feet) in the Alpine resort of Zermatt August 4, 2014. Switzerland will vote on November 30 on an initiative from the group Ecopop which proposes a cap on the number of immigrants. The group says it is motivated by concerns about a lack of living space exerting too much pressure on the land and natural resources, rather than by opposition to foreigners. It proposes limiting immigration to just 0.2 percent of the resident population, equivalent to 16, 000 people per year. This would represent a cut of more than 75 percent in annual net immigration from current levels. In Switzerlands system of direct democracy, any voter can trigger a referendum by collecting 100, 000 signatures within 18 months.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the breathtaking sight of roped parties of climbers making their way across a glacier, marking the border between Switzerland and Italy. The climbers are on their journey to reach the summit of the majestic Breithorn, standing tall at an impressive 4,164 meters (13,661 feet) in the Alpine resort town of Zermatt. Taken on August 4,2014, this image holds even greater significance as it coincides with an upcoming vote in Switzerland regarding immigration policies. A group called Ecopop has proposed a cap on the number of immigrants entering Switzerland each year. Their motivation stems from concerns about limited living space and excessive pressure on natural resources rather than opposition towards foreigners. The initiative suggests limiting immigration to just 0.2 percent of the resident population annually, equivalent to approximately 16,000 people per year. If passed, this would result in a drastic reduction of over 75 percent compared to current levels. Switzerland's system of direct democracy allows any voter to trigger a referendum by collecting 100,000 signatures within 18 months - hence giving power directly into citizens' hands. In this photograph captured by Denis Balibouse for Reuters Images, we witness both nature's grandeur and humanity's ongoing quest for balance amidst pressing societal issues such as immigration and environmental sustainability.
