Photo by Cristina Mittermeier @mitty | In the windswept wilds of Patagonia, the puma once lived in the shadows—not by nature but by necessity. As sheep ranching expanded across the region, these apex predators were hunted, feared, and nearly erased from the landscape. But over time, something changed. Through decades of conservation efforts and the growth of ecotourism, public perception has begun to shift. Today the puma is increasingly seen not as a threat but as a keystone species—an icon of Patagonia’s wild heart, and a powerful ambassador for coexistence. On this Earth Day, we’re reminded: Conservation is not born from fear but from connection. We protect what we understand. We defend what we hold dear.

Known locally as hargila, the threatened Greater Adjutant stork has found a champion in an unlikely place: the Hargila Army, a group of about 20,000 rural women in India turned conservationists. Since 2014, the women have worked tirelessly to give the storks a desperately needed reputational revamp. Once reviled as filthy, adjutants prey on fish, frogs, snakes, rats, and smaller birds like ducks, rummaging through landfills looking for carcasses (hargila translates to bone swallower). Wildlife biologist Dr. Purnima Devi Barman saw the Greater Adjutant differently. She says she fell “deeply in love” with the birds and, under her guidance and with the help of the Hargila Army, the adjutant’s numbers have quadrupled in Assam to more than 1,800 birds. Pictured above, members of the Hargila Army in Dadara Village, Assam, India, throw a baby shower for Greater Adjutant stork chicks in December 2024.

Photo by @stephenwilkes | From a vantage point overlooking Easter Mass in St. Peter’s Square in 2016, this Day to Night image captures a deeply moving moment, as Pope Francis made his way to the altar, warmly greeting the thousands of pilgrims gathered to celebrate. Witnessing and documenting the unfolding of such a historic day was an unforgettable experience. This year, the tradition continued with renewed poignancy, as Pope Francis returned to deliver the Easter blessing after a recent stay in the hospital and one day before his passing—a powerful testament to his enduring strength and unwavering devotion. During the blessing, he said, “May the principle of humanity never fail to be the hallmark of our daily actions. In the face of the cruelty of conflicts that involve defenseless civilians and attack schools, hospitals, and humanitarian workers, we cannot allow ourselves to forget that it is not targets that are struck, but persons, each possessed of a soul and human dignity.” Swipe to see the details of this installment of my Day to Night series, in which a landscape is captured from a fixed camera angle over the course of a full day. A select group of these photographs are blended into a single composite image.
