ANCIENT
ANCIENT: This photo by Mateo Borrero, 'Waterline', won the Forestry England Forest Ecosystem award in this year's Earth Photo competition, a world-leading programme engaging with still and moving image makers to showcase the issues affecting the climate and life on our planet.
The photo depicts a Ticuna man standing by the side of a 500-year-old ceiba tree in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. The tree has lines that mark where the water level reaches during the rainy season, which runs from April to May. This photograph was taken in May 2024 and by that time, the level should be at the maximum; however, the rains were scarce due to climate change.
