CAPTURED BY
PHOTOJOURNALISTS
U.S, Washington D.C.,1967. An
American young girl, Jan Rose
Kasmir, confronts the American
National Guard outside the
Pentagon during the 1967 antiVietnam march. This march helped
to turn public opinion against the
U.S. war in Vietnam.
Although millions have seen Kevin
Carter’s 1993 photo of this starving
child in famine-plagued Sudan, far
fewer know that the child actually
lived while Carter himself, who
was criticized for not intervening,
did not.
The non-human face of the climate
crisis: This eastern grey kangaroo and
her joey, encountered near Mallacoota
in the state of Victoria, Australia, were
among the lucky survivors of intense
bushfires that devastated parts of
southeastern Australia in the summer
of 2019-2020.
