EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic beauty of Loxodonta africana, commonly known as the African elephant. In this particular image, we are presented with an adorable elephant calf seen from its right side view. The photograph not only captures the innocence and charm of this young creature but also sheds light on the critical status of these magnificent beings in our world today. The African elephant is an endangered species, facing numerous threats that jeopardize its survival. As the largest land animal on Earth, it holds a significant place in our ecosystem as a keystone species. These gentle giants play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and shaping their habitats. However, they have fallen victim to illegal activities such as poaching due to the lucrative ivory trade. This heartbreaking reality has led to a decline in their population over recent years. It serves as a poignant reminder that urgent action is needed to protect these incredible creatures from extinction. Jerry Young's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate both the vulnerability and resilience embodied by this young calf while highlighting the urgency for conservation efforts worldwide. Through images like these, we are encouraged to reflect upon our responsibility towards safeguarding endangered species and ensuring their continued existence for generations to come.
