The Dutch cyclist Dylan Groenewegen (left), crashes metres before the finish line after colliding with his compatriot Fabio Jakobsen during the first stage of the Tour of Poland, in Katowice on 5 August 2020. Groenewegen had deviated from his line, veering towards the right barrier and leaving little room for Jakobsen, sending him crashing over the barricade. The two had been competing for first place in the stage, and were travelling at about 80km/h

On my way back in the car from a photo walk around a marsh near my town (Onda in Spain), I braked suddenly. This was when I first saw my friend, the Flemish mantis. You can imagine the faces inside the passing vehicles, seeing a car with its indicators on, the door open, and a madman lying on the ground with his camera

In a dark forest in Maashorst in the Netherlands last autumn, a happy red ant looks down at us. I like the tones of the autumn leaf. So warm. The ant was fast, but with a little help of a flashlight I was able to freeze the motion

Indigenous Australians strategically burn land in a practice known as cool burning, in which fires move slowly, burn only the undergrowth, and remove the buildup of fuel that feeds bigger blazes. The Nawarddeken people of West Arnhem Land have been practising controlled cool burns for tens of thousands of years and see fire as a tool to manage their 1.39m-hectare homeland“It was so well put together that you cannot even think of the images in disparate ways. You look at it as a whole, and it was very well done” – global jury chair Rena Effendi

Alfredo, Ubaldo and José tend beehives near Wenden in the Arizona desert, US, 11 March 2022. A substantial decrease in flow of the Colorado River, caused by lack of rain and increasing demand for water upstream, now requires these workers to provide water for the bees in troughs. Heat and drought weakens bees, making them more susceptible to pathogens and parasites, and impacts the plants from which they feed. Between 2019 and 2020, colonies of bees – vital for pollinating crops – declined by 43.7% across the US

Welders work near the future Central Business District of Egypt’s New Administrative Capital, 17 January 2022. The Iconic Tower will be Africa’s tallest building, at 394 metres high. In 2015, the Egyptian government began constructing the NAC in the desert east of Cairo to accommodate ministries, top companies, and relieve chronic congestion and pollution in the city. Modelled on Dubai, this new urban environment will house 6.5 million people. Part of a larger project on new capitals that addresses notions of labour, neoliberal urban development, and inequality

Lotomau Fiafia, a community elder, with his grandson John at the point where he remembers the shoreline used to be when he was a boy. Salia Bay, Kioa Island, Fiji, August 2023. The 500-strong community on Kioa Island has grown from a settlement of people who sought refuge in the 1940s from rising sea levels on Tuvalu island to the north. Their fishing and farming economy is threatened as increasingly eroding shorelines mean they and over 600 communities around Fiji could be forced to relocate

A resident catching fish at a once-scenic waterfall on the Cileungsi River, Curug Parigi, Indonesia, 27 August 2023. The thick foam on the water is largely a product of waste runoff from nearby industries. Industrial waste and an extended dry season have toxified the Cileungsi River, disrupting the supply of clean water for the Bekasi area. This image highlights the urgent need for environmental protection against harmful industrial practices

Fishing, Island Road, Isle de Jean-Charles, Louisiana, US, 5 November 2017. Isle de Jean-Charles, 130km south of the coast of New Orleans, is sinking into the surrounding bayou due to erosion exacerbated by climate change and offshore oil drilling. Since 1955, 98% of its surface area has vanished, reducing it to an island just 3km long and 300m wide. Island Road is the only thoroughfare connecting the Isle to the mainland, and it is submerged during high tides and hurricanes

The flooded area of Kherson was taken from a tower block on 7 June 2023. The previous day, explosions damaged the wall of the Russian-controlled Kakhovka Dam in south-eastern Ukraine, causing extensive floods in Kherson, downstream on the Dnipro River. The breach completely flooded some 17,500 homes on both the Ukrainian-controlled west bank and the Russian-held east bank of the river, killing hundreds of people. Authorities estimated that more than 40,000 people would need to be evacuated

Filipino fishermen docking their boats beside a government supply ship distributing oil and food, 20 September 2023. China is reinforcing its expansive claims in the South China Sea with island-building and naval patrols, raising concerns the region is becoming a flashpoint with potentially serious global consequences. Chinese maritime forces effectively occupy Scarborough Shoal, part of the Philippines’ EEZ, blocking access to fishers’ traditional fishing grounds

A young man bouncing off a post in a soccer field in Gafsa, a region crucial to the Tunisian economy for its phosphate mines and marked by high youth unemployment. Umm-Al-Arais, Tunisia, 17 October 2015. Tunisia’s 2011 revolution catalysed the Arab Spring and instilled hope in Tunisians, but the subsequent decade witnessed political instability, persistent economic crises and social inequality, hitting young people especially hard. This project explores the lives of young Tunisians
