EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo captured by Raul Arboleda, we are transported to the Hacienda Napoles theme park in Doradal, Colombia. Once the private zoo of notorious drug kingpin Pablo Escobar, this place holds a dark and intriguing history. Standing tall amidst its surroundings is a magnificent hippopotamus, seemingly oblivious to the weight of its surroundings. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the complex legacy left behind by Escobar and his empire. As we gaze at this majestic creature, it's hard not to ponder on the surreal nature of its existence within such an infamous setting. The juxtaposition between innocence and corruption becomes strikingly apparent. Escobar's fascination with exotic animals led him to import several hippos into Colombia during his reign. Today, their descendants roam freely in nearby rivers and lakes - an unexpected consequence that has posed challenges for local communities trying to coexist with these massive creatures. Arboleda's photograph encapsulates both beauty and intrigue; it invites us to reflect upon how one man's actions can have far-reaching consequences for both humans and wildlife alike. It reminds us that even in places tainted by darkness, there is still room for resilience and natural wonder. Through this lens into Colombia's past, we are compelled to confront our own perceptions about power dynamics, environmental impact, and the delicate balance between human ambition and nature’s indomitable force.
