The Italian photojournalist Tommaso Protti’s work on the Brazilian Amazon is the winner of the 10th Carmignac Photojournalism Award. This award was created in 2009 by Édouard Carmignac to support photographers and their work in the field. He did this at a time when media and photojournalism were facing a crisis in being able to fund work. The crisis has not abated, and the Carmignac Photojournalism Award annually funds the production of investigative photo reportage on human rights violations and geostrategic issues.
