Seeking Refuge in the Mangroves
Evan Cooper, Bahamas
A juvenile green turtle in a shallow Bahamian mangrove forest near sunset during high tide. As the water levels rise and the tide comes in, the mangroves’ roots transform from a barren buffer to a flourishing ecosystem home to sea turtles, crustaceans, fish and much more. Given its size, this turtle has probably arrived here from the Sargasso Sea.

Tigers downsized Where the Mangroves Begin Kallol Mukherjee, India Two jungle cat kittens emerge from the dense mangrove forest in the Sundarban tiger reserve. It is a rare glimpse of the smaller, lesser-known wildlife that shares this tidal landscape with the reserve’s tigers, and survives its shifting mud, saline water and daily tidal flooding.
