  • Wearing a peaked cap and small rucksack, a young adventurer, clambers over rocks in the ancient forest of Monbachtal Bach in Germany's Black Forest. Stretching to climb the rock, the lad of 10 uses his hand and walking stick to balance as he puts a boot higher to gain a sure footing. There is ample covering of moss and lichen on the primeval landscape making it hazardous to conquer but the boy stumbles over the terrain and continues his walk through this beautiful wilderness. The boy is alone in the picture though accompanied by his family but he seems to mange on his own, capable of finding his own limits of endurance and confidence. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.

  • An early morning misty forest landscape in Phongsaly province, Lao PDR. Phongsaly Province is one of the remotest of the Lao PDR provinces and is dominated by rugged, mountainous terrain and an abundance of thick forests. In the 1950s, forests covered 70 percent of the land area of Laos; but by 1992, according to government estimates, forest coverage had already decreased to just 47 percent. Despite the dwindling forest, timber and other forestry products constitute a valuable supply of potential export goods. The forest has also been an important source of wild foods, herbal medicines and timber for house construction for local people.

The lad of 10 crouches to better balance himself, carefully placing his bare feet on the slippery rock's surface as he emerges from the chilly mountain water. It is high summer and we can see the boy backlit by the glare of strong sunlight in the background. The Gross Enz river rises in Enzklosterle in Baden-Württemberg and is an eventual  tributary of the Neckar. Geologically, the Black Forest consists of a cover of sandstone on top of a core of gneiss. During the last glacial period, the Würm glaciation, the Black Forest was covered by glaciers.

  • Luzriminda T. Abello (42) collecting sea snails whilst walking through the mangrove forest at low-tide, Obo-ob, Bantayan Island, The Philippines. Fishing communities in Bantayan reported severe damage to mangrove forests after typhon Haiyan but the government has yet to conduct an assessment of the impact.  Mangroves forests are critical in ensuring the sustainability of fish production. They serve as spawning grounds and nurseries for fish and are a habitat for a wide array of organisms. The salt-hardy trees also protect coastal areas from wave action and can prevent some of the inland damage associated with storm surges. Oxfam is working on various projects to support mangrove protection in Obo-ob.

  • Peering through a hole in the huge metal door of an old Victorian tunnel, two children stand on the place where a railway once emerged from this brick entrance - a link between nearby Dulwich and the Crystal Palace. Now the London Wildlife Trust maintains this once-wild wood at Sydenham, South London, England, which has reverted to forest again, 40 years after (one of the first the electrified railways) line fell silent. The brother and sister look through to see if there is light at the end of this tunnel but it has long been bricked up, sealed to deter vandals and danger to all. It is Autumn and the leaves on the beech and oak trees are about to fall, adding to the already organic deep forest floor. From a personal documentary project entitled "Next of Kin" about the photographer's two children's early years spent in parallel universes. Model released
