EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming photo, a three-year-old girl named Natasha experiences pure joy as a Plain Tiger Butterfly delicately lands on her nose. The magical moment takes place during the "Butterflies Go Free" event at the National Science Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Natasha's innocent and awe-struck expression perfectly captures the wonder of encountering these delicate creatures up close. As she stands there with her eyes wide open, one can only imagine the excitement and curiosity running through her young mind. This image serves as a reminder of Malaysia's rich biodiversity, particularly its vibrant butterfly population. With over 1,038 species found in this tropical nation, it is no wonder that events like "Butterflies Go Free" are organized to raise awareness about their importance and conservation. However, amidst this beauty lies an alarming truth - 26 out of these magnificent butterfly species are currently endangered. This photograph not only showcases the innocence and joy of childhood but also highlights the urgent need for action to protect these fragile creatures from disappearing forever. Photographer Ahmad Yusni skillfully captures this tender moment between nature and humanity, reminding us all to appreciate our natural world and work together towards its preservation.
