Impactful images (suitable for double page spread) that deal with the state of the earth. For example: soil erosion, flooding, air pollution, garbage, deforestation, fire, extinction of wildlife.
Even better if there are animals / people in the images. To be clear, we’re not asking for photos of a species that is threatened in general by (e.g. deforestation). The image must explicitly show the effects of (deforestation) on that species, within a single frame.
