EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Darren Whiteside, we are transported to the heart of Tanjung Puting National Park in Central Kalimantan province, Indonesia. The image showcases a male orangutan patiently waiting at a feeding station in Camp Leakey. The solemn expression on the orangutan's face speaks volumes about the dire situation these incredible creatures find themselves in. Deforestation looms as their primary threat, endangering their very existence. Known for their remarkable intelligence and striking resemblance to humans, orangutans have become an emblematic species fighting against human-induced destruction. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to address deforestation trends before it is too late. Shockingly, according to United Nations predictions, wild orangutans may be virtually wiped out within two decades if current practices persist. Whiteside's expertly framed shot captures not only the beauty and vulnerability of this male orangutan but also highlights our collective responsibility towards protecting these magnificent creatures and preserving their natural habitat. As we gaze upon this poignant image frozen in time from June 15th, 2015, let us reflect on our role as stewards of nature and consider how each individual action can contribute towards safeguarding these extraordinary beings for generations to come.
