Human destruction of the living world is causing a “frightening” number of plant and animal extinctions, according to a growing number of scientists, studies, publications, and reports. In the last century, the awareness that human activities are harmful to the environment, to life in general, including that of humans has increased. Wars, climate change, diseases, pollution, technological escalation, deforestation are just some of the threats that challenge the survival of the species. A great deal of literature and cinema have also contributed to this dystopian vision of the future. Even to imagine a "world without us". For these reasons, we are eager to discover and spread photographic and/or visual projects that nourish, document, develop, interpret, tell and question the theme of extinction.
