SĂRĂCIE LUCIE! Unu din trei copii trăiește de pe o zi pe alta

***EXCLUSIVE*** KATHMANDU, NEPAL - UNDATED: Winner - Two children who live nearby to the junkyard with their grandmother in Kathmandu, Nepal. Every day they search the junkyard for something useful that they can resell for money so they can buy food.  If they don't find anything their grandmother blames them. Unfortunately, they had found nothing for a few days and the little boy feels very hungry. The photographer gave them some money and a biscuit after taking this photo. The best eco-photographers on the planet have whipped up a storm by entering more entries than ever in this year's prestigious Environmental Photographer of the Year Competition. From British Natural World category winner, James Broscombe's spectacular lightening strike, to the overall winner, Hong Kong resident, Chan Kwok Hung's homeless children - in 2011 both the natural and human drama of our planet was showcased. With more than double the submissions compared to 2010, the 13 judges had to sort through over 10,000 entries from 105 nations, making this the most popular and high calibre year to date. The competition, which is now in its fifth year, is organised by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management (CIWEM) - a charity and professional body for scientists and engineers which promotes environmental awareness across the world. In addition to the still image winners, this year also saw the first video entries - one of the first major photo competitions of this genre to do so.
