Photos serve as our witness as the earth continues to lose its natural resources to a climate emergency.

This year saw the devastating damage Hurricane Dorian brought to the Bahamas, blazing wildfires in California and snow in Las Vegas. In 2019, the first-ever glacier funeral took place, the Amazon rainforest burned and Victoria Falls slowed to a trickle as Zimbabwe and Zambia experienced intense drought.

We’ve compiled our favorite images of 2019, ranging from weather.com’s climate change coverage, to severe storms, to awe-inspiring nature photos.

weather.com employed on-the-ground coverage for our 2019 project, Collateral, which told stories about climate from a data-heavy perspective. We've selected some our our exclusive photos from articles such as Harvest: Recovery and Risk After Hurricane Michael, which explores the effect the storm had on farmers and the timber industry and Horseshoe Crabs, the Red Knot and a Broken Rung, a look at species interconnectivity, climate change and the biomedical industry.
