<strong>Scanning the Realm by Aaron Baggenstos (USA)</strong><br /><br /><br />A puma stands on a windswept outcrop in the rugged mountain terrain of Torres del Paine National Park, Chile.<br /><br /><br />It is a symbol of hope. A successful conservation movement led to the creation of the national park and a rise in ecotourism in the region.<br /><br /><br />This has also helped to reduce conflict between pumas and local gauchos (sheep farmers). The gauchos view pumas more positively because they’re attracting tourists, which is good for income.<br /><br /><br />The introduction of sheepdogs has also helped. The dogs confront any approaching pumas and stop them attacking the sheep. In turn, the pumas hunt their natural prey, and the gauchos are less likely to shoot them.<br /><br /><br />The change has been gradual but has gained momentum over the past 20 to 30 years. There is hope that humans and pumas can live alongside one another.

BRISTOL, ENGLAND - JANUARY 05: Drinkers enjoy pints of beer which is currently being sold in outlets of the pub chain JD Wetherspoon for 99p a pint on January 5, 2009 in Bristol, England. The company, which operates 713 pubs across the UK, claims it is offering cash-strapped drinkers some cheer, offering "indefinite" reductions on some beer, bottled lager, wine and spirits, plus 2.99 GBP meals. However health charities claim the move may spark a price war and lead to more irresponsible and binge drinking. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
