EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Nic I Anson captures the aftermath of traditional slash and burn agriculture in the Chittagong Hills of Bangladesh. The image showcases a landscape scarred by fire, with hillsides burned to ash as a result of this age-old farming practice known as juma agriculture. The photograph draws attention to the environmental impact of such practices, highlighting the delicate balance between human needs and preserving natural resources. The lush green vegetation that once covered these hills now lies charred and destroyed, leaving behind a hauntingly beautiful yet devastating scene. In this image, one can almost feel the heat and smell the smoke that must have filled the air during this process. It serves as a reminder of how our actions can shape landscapes for generations to come. As we contemplate this photograph, it prompts us to reflect on our own relationship with nature and consider more sustainable alternatives to land clearing. While tradition may dictate certain practices, it is crucial that we find ways to protect our environment without compromising future generations' ability to thrive. Nic I Anson's skillful composition allows us to witness firsthand both the destructive power and eerie beauty resulting from slash and burn agriculture in Bangladesh's Chittagong Hills. Through his lens, he invites us into a conversation about green issues and encourages us all to be mindful stewards of our planet's precious resources.
