Image 1 of 18: North and Central America, singles winner - The Dying River. A substantial decrease in flow of the Colorado River now requires these workers to provide water for the bees in troughs. Heat and drought weakens bees, making them more susceptible to pathogens and parasites, and impacts the plants from which they feed. Between 2019 and 2020, colonies of bees – vital for pollinating crops – declined by 43.7 per cent across the US. Photo / Jonas Kako/World Press Photo
