Flood, drought and plastic pollution: Environmental Photographer of the Year competition shows a planet in peril
CNN
—
A herd of buffaloes wander parched land amidst a drought, a farmer and his cows wade knee-deep through floodwater, and people walk across a bridge over a multicolored river of trash. All three scenes were among the winning images of the Environmental Photographer of the Year 2023 competition, and all three were taken in Bangladesh.
The country is one of the most vulnerable to climate change in the world, ranking seventh on the latest Global Climate Risk Index, based on data from 2000 to 2019. It’s prone to cyclones, tornadoes and floods, and it is estimated that by 2050, one in every seven people in Bangladesh will be displaced by climate change.
Bangladeshi photographers like Shafiul Islam believe they have a responsibility to highlight these threats. His captivating image of buffalo depicts the droughts that have struck the north of the country in recent decades. Rivers, canals and reservoirs in the area have dried up, crop production is decreasing and local communities are suffering as a result, he says.
When it does rain, it pours – as shown in 18-year-old Solayman Hossain’s photo of a farmer navigating floodwaters during monsoon season in the Kushtia district, in the west of the country. Brought up in a nearby village, Hossain recounts how he has witnessed devastating changes to the environment in his lifetime. “My village has been hit with frequent flooding and cyclones which damage crops and destroy livelihoods,” he tells CNN.
As extreme weather events become more and more frequent so does the damage, displacements, and anxiety around when the next disaster will hit. “Many of us are forced to keep rebuilding our lives, often in the aftermath of each calamity,” he says.
Photography on the frontlines
Now in its 16th year, the photo competition – organized by streaming platform WaterBear and the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management and in partnership with Nikon – attracted thousands of submissions from over 159 countries. So it may seem surprising that three of the six category winners hailed from one country.
Sam Sutaria, CEO of WaterBear, believes it’s down to the country’s relationship with climate issues. “Bangladesh is a place where the climate crisis isn’t an abstract concept but a harsh and immediate reality. With frequent flooding, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events, it’s no wonder they’re so engaged in documenting these challenges,” he says.
He adds that this year’s competition saw entries from other regions also severely threatened by climate change, such as India, West Bengal, Antarctica and Argentina. “(It proves) that photographers on the front lines of these crises are using their lenses as a force for change. They’re inspiring awareness and action by showcasing the pressing issues they face daily.”
Jahid Apu, a professional photographer from Bangladesh, took the drone shot of a bridge in the capital Dhaka surrounded by plastic waste that won the “MPB vision of the future” category. With the image, he wants to communicate the impact of plastic pollution and hopes that when people see it, they might realize the consequence of throwing away plastic and change their behavior.
“I do not take pride in a photo that someone looks at and says, ‘Wow, pretty picture…’ and moves on. For me, success is achieved when I catch the person off guard, drawing consciousness about causes, or when someone comes to me to tell me what the photograph brings to mind,” Apu tells CNN.
Sutaria believes that the winning images from this year’s prize represent a wider shift in environmental photography, away from simply portraying nature as an untouched paradise to images that carry a conservation message.
“They’re showing it in all its raw, vulnerable glory, challenging us to step up and protect it,” he says. “These photographs represent a dynamic new wave in climate storytelling.”
Environmental Photographer of the Year 2023: Photos show our planet in danger
The Environmental Photography of the Year competition showcases photography to inspire change and climate action. In 2023, three of the six category winners were from Bangladesh, a country severely threatened by climate change. Here, in a photo by Shafiul Islam, buffaloes scour parched grasslands for food during a drought in the north of the country.

Angling for results with crime scene photography | Delhi News
NEW DELHI: The use of forensic-aided, angle-wise photography techniques has gone up in crime investigations. Angle-wise photography involves capturing the suspects in the postures that they were seen in during the commission of a crime as captured by CCTV or videos. The technique helps match apprehended suspects with the actual perpetrators.
Data accessed by TOI shows that experts of the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) have employed the technique in more than 200 cases this year, compared with just over 80 last year, after a separate division was formed at the laboratory.
Deepa Verma, director, FSL, said forensics was a dynamic field. “There was a need for subject-wise photography, so we developed a division to handle it.” According to officials, the division named Suspect Identification Photo Division comprises three units with two experts in each. “We receive orders from courts, while police also often seek our assistance with photographs,” an official said.
Explaining how the process works, the official said that police officers bring CCTV footage that has captured the suspects. “Experts evaluate and analyse the footage to determine the appropriate angle for photographing the suspect. Then the cops bring the apprehended suspects to FSL, where the experts photograph and videotape them from the same angle as shown in the crime footage. The experts then compare and assess the results and submit their reports within a week for further examination,” the official said.
Sanjeev Kumar Gupta, head, photo division, FSL, said, “Photographing evidence is a crucial aspect of crime scene documentation and must be done to illustrate the location of any scientific evidence. This establishes the relationships of the evidence with the victim and the victim with the place of occurrence.” Assistant director Sarvesh Kumar Singh added, “Photography, especially crime scene photography, is an important tool of forensics and it assists significantly in solving complex cases.”
On what crime scene photography entailed, Dr. Rajnish Kumar Singh, assistant PRO, said, “At any crime spot, the first thing that should be done is to document the scene with detailed photographs and videos. This includes recording all the elements present in the environment and the relative position/location of the pieces of scientific evidence. The second thing is that we have to photograph the scene quickly because environmental factors in the form of rain, onlookers or traffic can make the conditions difficult for photography or they can disturb and wipe out scientific evidence at the scene of crime. The photo experts perform their work quickly and capture as many visuals as possible from the place of occurrence.”

Kent elementary schools celebrate Native American Heritage Month
For the Reporter
A drum begins to beat faintly in the Kent classroom, quieting the chatty Lake Youngs Elementary School students in their seats.
Collectively, everyone’s attention focuses on Sondra Segundo, who begins to sing softly in her Native Haida language. The room, students and staff alike, are now captivated as Segundo ends the song with a final beat of her drum.
In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, Lake Youngs Elementary hosted 27 Native students on a recent November day from Lake Youngs, Scenic Hill and East Hill elementary schools, treating them to a field trip meant to expose them to their culture through music and storytelling.
Richard Summers, the Kent School District’s Native American Student & Family Liaison, described the impact of Kent students building relationships and learning more about their cultures through these events.
“It’s immeasurable,” Summers said. “For the most part, Native history and culture have been non-existent in public schools for decades, besides a page or two on the Trail of Tears, Chief Sitting Bull, Geronimo, or Chief Joseph. Cultural erasure gets mentioned a lot, but I would argue it has hit Native Americans hardest. So, when we can offer in-person, three-dimensional cultural offerings for our Native students, I think these events will stick with them for a long time and positively affect their identity development as Native people.”
The field trip’s special guest was Segundo, a multi-faceted Seattle artist and Haida Language Warrior. She was invited to present her new book, “Kúndlaan,” to the students. She also incorporated songs throughout the book’s presentation, adding a dimension that made the story come alive.
Segundo is a cultural educator, published author, and illustrator of three Haida children’s books.
“I have had Sondra present to our students and families two other times at our Native Program culture night events,” Summers said. “Her family and my family come from the same Alaska Native village, Hydaburg, Alaska, so I’ve known her family for some time.”
After the book presentation, the students bonded with each other while eating pizza and participating in an art project.
Kent School District hosts many Native cultural events throughout the school year and summer.
“Many Native students might not get too involved with their Native cultures at home or in the community as part of being ‘urbanized,’ so the influence of cultural offerings in their school lives has a giant impact,” Summers said.
Lake Youngs Elementary School is at 19660 142nd Ave. SE.
Kent School District acknowledges its district rests upon the ancestral lands of the descendants of the Duwamish and Upper Puyallup people who came to be known as the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, who historically lived throughout the area between the Cascade Mountains and Puget Sound.
