Photo by Muhammed Muheisen @mmuheisen | Anas, a 2.5-year-old Syrian refugee I photographed a couple of months ago, is held by his father, who wrapped him in his coat to shield him from the wind. Recently I spoke on the phone with a family living in this tented settlement in Jordan, and most of the conversation was about the coronavirus and how scared and vulnerable they and the people surrounding them feel.Be safe, be kind, stay home, and keep positive. We are all in this together. For more photos and videos of the refugee crisis, follow me @mmuheisen @mmuheisenpublic. For more on how to get involved, follow @everydayrefugees #muhammedmuheisen #everydayrefugees #COVID19 #StaysafePhoto by Stephen Alvarez @salvarezphoto | The Oldham Theater in Winchester, Tennessee: I shot this photo on my way to get a COVID-19 test last week. Rural areas like this one, where I live, have largely been spared the ravages seen in northern Italy, Spain, or New York City. The pain and suffering of this pandemic are spread unequally. The marquee on the shuttered theater in Winchester reflects how strange the last 60-plus days have been: Life here does very much seem like a movie.Photo by @lucasfogliaphoto | I took this photograph in rural Texas a few years ago. If there was a comic book superhero alive today, what would he or she say?Photo by @paoloverzone | Due to the pandemic, the Cannes Film Festival In France did not take place this May—for the first time in over 70 years. During last year's event, I had the pleasure to photograph director Quentin Tarantino, who was there presenting his latest movie, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” The session lasted less than five minutes, and he was very focused, It was a true pleasure to take this portrait. Follow @paoloverzone for more photos and stories.Photo by David Guttenfelder @dguttenfelder | A helicopter flies over a landscape of wind turbines in the Mojave Desert in Kern County, California, one of the country’s densest concentrations of renewable energy. The solar and wind industries have grown rapidly and now power millions of homes. Yet they still produce less than 10 percent of all electricity in the United States. Please have a look at “The Road to 2070” in the April 2020 issue of National Geographic, which marks the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Check out Nat Geo's link in bio for more on this story.Photo by @dina_litovsky | Since the beginning of the shelter-in-place order in New York City I have been walking the deserted night streets, photographing glimpses of life and light popping up in the otherwise dark metropolis. This was taken at Astor Place, in the East Village.

Days later it would form into a flower supermoon—the last supermoon of 2020. #Sydney #Australia #moon #supermoon #naturelovestoriesPhotos by @sarahyltonphoto | This time last year I joined a female-led team of scientists supported by @insidenatgeo who traveled along the Ganges River, from the Bay of Bengal to the Himalaya. The international team was trying to better understand how plastic moves through waterways and eventually into our oceans. In these images, children participate in a youth awareness and community clean-up session in Ayeshebag, and discarded plastic can be seen floating in a pond near Chandpur, both scenes in Bangladesh. As many of us across the globe shelter in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, some of us have seen our priorities shift and have become more reliant on packaged items, delivery, and take-away food services. Environmentalists are concerned that single-use plastic may rise during the pandemic. While environmental concerns are not necessarily our top priority at the moment, we can still make an effort to limit our plastic usage and make smart choices for the future of our children and planet. For more stories follow me @sarahyltonphoto #planetorplastic #expeditionplastic #reduce #GangesPhoto by George Steinmetz @geosteinmetz | A Tyson Foods beef slaughterhouse, Amarillo, Texas. The U.S. meat supply is currently threatened by the closure of slaughterhouses from COVID-19-related illness. For the past six years I’ve been documenting food production on all six arable continents. I’ve been allowed to take pictures inside only South American and Asian slaughterhouses, as getting into similar facilities in the U.S. and Europe has proved impossible. Although I’m not a vegetarian, I do feel we have a right to know where our food comes from, and how it is produced. If any major meat-packers are truly proud of their operations, I’m patiently waiting for an invitation!

The owner, Colin Turner, 58, said, “This is the busiest we have been in 20 years; every one of our customers are all busy, and the southwest isn’t big on the COVID scale.“ Turner has a four-week waiting time for coffins, making 150 a week—the maximum they are capable of making—as opposed to their normal 100 a week. The United Kingdom was one of the last in Europe to call for a nationwide lockdown to prevent large-scale deaths and illness from the coronavirus, and their current death toll is now on track to be one of the highest in Europe, with over 30,000 recorded deaths.

This area in northwestern Saudi Arabia is set to become one of the country’s main tourist attractions, with archaeological sites that date back thousands of years scattered across 9,000 square miles (22,500 sq km)—about the size of New Jersey. #alula #saudiarabiaPhoto by David Chancellor @chancellordavid | The underside of a bull elephant's ear shows the auricular veins—and evidence of a hypodermic needle puncture where blood samples were drawn under tranquilization, in Laikipia, Kenya. These samples may yet find cures for diseases afflicting both man and elephant. I can’t help but immediately see the tree of life here, and at the same time a map of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, where I’d been working for the last year, prior to the arrival of COVID-19 into our lives. The elephant is an extraordinarily sentient being—it’s not unsurprising that one can see visual representations of life itself within it. From a scientific point of view, the African elephant's ears are the largest of any animal, accounting for 20% of their overall surface area. They make extremely useful fans but also cool the elephant in cleverer ways: The elephant can control the volume of blood that flows through its ears via a network of vessels—if dilated, flow will increase, boosting heat loss. The ears work in a similar way to a car radiator, and when needed, they can pump 12 liters (about three gallons) of blood through each ear every minute.
