Underwater World | By Tiina Törmänen
Törmänen was thrilled to meet the European perch on her annual snorkel in Honkalampi Lake. In the previous three years she had found only dead fishes. She framed the fishes flying through clouds of pink-tinged algae. Although it created a beautiful scene, excessive algal growth, can cause problems for aquatic wildlife as it consumes up oxygen and blocks out sunlight.

Wanted! | Britta Jaschinski
Jaschinski skillfully arranges and presents this image, featuring a luminous blue substance known as coltan, a key component in phone and laptop batteries. The artist surrounds the coltan with tools used in mining and the remains of animals affected by the electronic industry, all confiscated by customs authorities. These artifacts include a gorilla skull, vertebrae, leg bone, and porcupine quills. Coltan extraction from Congo’s riverbeds involves underpaid miners who hunt wild animals for sustenance. This wildlife hunting and trade pose threats to the survival of the country’s gorillas and heighten the risk of virus transmission to humans.
