A striking cover image from Conservation Biology showcases the juvenile French angelfish (Pomacanthus paru) within the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mexico. The photograph, captured by renowned conservation photographer Keith Ellenbogen, underscores the region's ecological significance while advocating for its preservation. Ellenbogen's work, supported by partnerships with the Society for Conservation Biology and the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP), merges art and science to communicate critical conservation messages. His approach combines underwater photography with a focus on environmental storytelling, aiming to foster global awareness and action for biodiversity protection. The image serves as both a visual representation of Sian Ka'an's marine diversity and a call to address the challenges threatening its ecosystems.
