EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the alarming sight of smog engulfing Chile's capital, Santiago. Taken on June 22,2015, it serves as a stark reminder of the environmental crisis that plagued the city at that time. The severity of the situation prompted Chilean authorities to declare an unprecedented environmental emergency for the Santiago metropolitan region. In response to this dire circumstance, over 900 industries were temporarily shut down and approximately 40 percent of the city's staggering 1.7 million cars were forced off the roads. The gravity of this emergency cannot be overstated; it was the first such declaration since 1999. The measures implemented by authorities were intended to alleviate pollution levels and protect public health from further harm caused by hazardous air quality. This state of emergency lasted for a grueling 24 hours but could have been extended if conditions did not improve. Photographer Ueslei Marcelino masterfully captured this image, showcasing both the magnitude and urgency surrounding this environmental catastrophe. It stands as a powerful testament to humanity's impact on our planet and serves as a call-to-action for governments and individuals alike to prioritize sustainable practices in order to prevent future occurrences like these from becoming commonplace in our cities worldwide.
