EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Nic I Anson captures the haunting beauty of the Chittagong Hills in Bangladesh, where traditional slash and burn agriculture has left its mark on the landscape. The hillsides are adorned with a tapestry of ash and burned vegetation, showcasing the aftermath of juma farming practices. In this image, one can witness both the destructive power and resilience of nature. The scorched trees stand tall against a backdrop of smoky haze, symbolizing the delicate balance between human intervention and environmental consequences. The technique of slash and burn farming, also known as jhum or jum agriculture, has been practiced for centuries in this region. It involves clearing land by burning vegetation to make way for cultivation. While it may provide short-term benefits such as fertile soil for crops, it also poses long-term threats to biodiversity and ecosystem stability. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility towards sustainable agricultural practices. It prompts us to reflect on how our actions impact not only local communities but also global green issues. Through his lens, Nic I Anson invites us to contemplate the intricate relationship between humans and their environment. This thought-provoking image is an invitation to engage in conversations about preserving traditional knowledge while safeguarding our planet's natural resources for future generations.
