Alain Schroeder @alainschroeder - Saving Orangutans⁠
Wildlife and Nature 2019 Winner⁠
@LuganoPhotoDays 2019⁠
•⁠
This series documents the incongruous behavior between man and the environment in Sumatra, Indonesia. On the one hand humans destroy virgin forests, wounding and killing animals, while on the other hand they do everything possible to save them. One day, an orangutan is found peppered and blinded by 74 air bullet wounds, and the very next day a surgeon travels halfway across the planet to save it. Indonesia’s Sumatran orangutan is under severe threat from the incessant and ongoing depletion and fragmentation of the rainforest. As palm oil and rubber plantations, logging, road construction, mining, hunting and other development continue to proliferate, orangutans are being forced out of their natural rainforest habitat. Organizations like the OIC (Orangutan Information Center) and their immediate response team HOCRU (Human Orangutan Conflict Response Unit), rescue orangutans in difficulty (lost, injured, captive...) while the SOCP (Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme) cares for, rehabilitates and resocializes orangutans at their purpose-built medical facility, aiming to reintroduce them into the wild and to create new self-sustaining, genetically viable populations in protected forests. That we share 97% of our genetic heritage with orangutans seems obvious when you observe their human-like behavior. Today, with just over 14,000 specimens left, the Sumatran orangutan (Pongo Abelii) along with the 800 specimens of the recently discovered Tapanuli species (Pongo tapanuliensis), are listed as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).•⁠

Enrico Carpegna @enrico.carpegna - Balcanica⁠
Reportage and Documentary 2019 Winner⁠
@LuganoPhotoDays 2019⁠
•⁠
The new "Balkan Route" undertaken by refugees on the border between Bosnia and Croatia. The photos were taken during a trip at the end of November 2018 together with William Bonapace, IDOS researcher and Maria Perino, professor of the University of Eastern Piedmont. The intent: to document the dramatic situation of migrants stranded in Bosnian territory.⁠
The images have been processed to represent the tragic reality of the many "non-places" where asylum seekers are confined to borders or within the European Union as well as in the countless other "no man's lands" scattered around the globe. Spectra and symbols of the contemporary world. For the author it is fundamental to present a different and non-stereotyped vision, like many reportages produced and to this end the choice of an infrared camera that is usually used for visions in the dark, the rendering of glazed eyes, hunting of animals at night, military uses. The intent, therefore, to visualize these subjects as hunted individuals and even more like ghosts with all the meanings that derive from them: our fears, the Balkan specters and the broader meaning of the term, namely: the possibilities.⁠

Marco Steiner @marcomaafushivaru - Into the night⁠
Wildlife and Nature 2019 Finalist⁠
@LuganoPhotoDays 2019⁠
•⁠
This series of underwater photos has been taken over 8 month in the Maldives and the Philippines, always during blackwater dives in the middle of the ocean at night. I tried to capture animals while showing special behaviour like releasing eggs, animals that have never been photographed in certain areas before like the diamond squid in the maldives (first ever!) and critters showing their movements while using slow shutter.⁠
