Due to the lake becoming more polluted and a reduction in the fresh water inflow from the Indus River, the fish count in the lake is way down, forcing many residents off their boats. The lake was once a popular stopover for migrating birds, but with fewer fish to feed on, the birds have gone elsewhere. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1591359621426-ORU4ZPI48Z9W0YU4HFSM/indus24.jpg Brendan Hoffman Projects Children run to a reverse osmosis water filtration plant in anticipation it will turn on so they can draw water on Saturday, September 28, 2019 in Manchar, Sindh, Pakistan.

The Indus and its tributaries form the backbone of Pakistan's fresh water supply, and a series of river-fed canals irrigate the fields that support much of the country's agriculture. Today, a rapidly-growing population is straining water supplies, while tensions with India, from which the Indus flows, threaten to further reduce the flow. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1591359631834-JS85038D3B5ID773ES9Z/indus27.jpg Brendan Hoffman Projects A woman harvests cotton on Sunday, November 19, 2017 in Tiba Sultanpur, Punjab, Pakistan.

The Sukkur Barrage helps supply water to the world's largest network of irrigation canals - more than 6000 miles worth. Excessive water use in what would otherwise be a desert means the Indus rarely flows all the way to the delta on the Arabian Sea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1591359655917-NJ5DFG1BT8UF5C5IQABU/indus33.jpg Brendan Hoffman Projects Local villagers, most of whom belong to one extended family, threshing rice on Tuesday, November 28, 2017 in Khairpur Nathan Shah, Sindh, Pakistan. Sindh receives little rain outside of the monsoon season, and most agriculture is made possible by irrigation canals that draw water from the Indus River and its tributaries, or from an underground aquifer that is rapidly depleting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1591359654767-34TVPQCPI2GDEKQJ0XNC/indus34.jpg Brendan Hoffman Projects Hindu villagers draw water from a hand pump on Tuesday, October 8, 2019 in the Thar desert village of Rano Rahimoo, Sindh, Pakistan.

At the very tip of the Indus River delta, fishing is no longer as lucrative as it once was, due to reduced river flows and fewer fish. As a result, fishermen are forced to go out of the river and into the Arabian Sea; occasionally, Pakistani fishermen stray accidentally into Indian territorial waters, where they can be arrested and detained. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1591359674054-E6BM7J4SQLMBXA28MIMA/indus39.jpg Brendan Hoffman Projects A herd of camels is led to graze on mangroves in the Indus River delta on Saturday, October 12, 2019 in Ibrahim Hyderi, Sindh, Pakistan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1591359677229-XRKZWSZ9G9CXGMRM1N3E/indus40.jpg Brendan Hoffman Projects A fisherman in the mangroves of the Indus River delta on Tuesday, October 8, 2019 in Rehri Goth, Sindh, Pakistan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1591359680064-4WNPVM7UHUSMSPDZYIDV/indus41.jpg Brendan Hoffman Projects Buyers inspect fish for sale in the main Karachi fish market on Saturday, October 12, 2019 in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1591359685535-G8R4E1T5C61NALMW2ZY3/indus42.jpg Brendan Hoffman Projects Salim Rahu, 29, left, drills a bore well to provide fresh water for residents of a house as his colleague Shabeer, 19, right, relaxes on Saturday, October 12, 2019 in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan.

The woman was far into her pregnancy. The couple’s heads touched in a last embrace. A single bullet entered the man’s skull and took all three lives. It is difficult to say who these victims were. The back of their truck was filled with glass and tools. It is possible that they were workers killed for not paying an extortion to the cartels. It is also possible that they were somehow involved in organized crime. At the time it was to dangerous to investigate their deaths. In 2010 alone there were 3,100 reported murders in the city.

Her family spent most of their savings on making it a happy occasion. Her father had recently lost his job and was making ends meet by making repairs to homes in the neighborhood. Nearly 10,000 businesses have closed since the onslaught of violence began in 2008. Most have closed because they were unable to pay extortion and were killed or fled. However foreign investment remains strong. Mexico boasts one of the cheapest labor markets in the world paying as little as $50 per week for a factory job. Low labor costs combined with its proximity to the United States and Canada continue to make it a attractive. These reasons also can be attributed to making Ciudad Juarez an attractive market for recruitment for the drug cartels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1490644963021-H8TV86S1UGBURSH06LZ8/juarezyouth_03.jpg Dominic Bracco II Projects A group of young men catch a ride in the back of a car to their friends funeral in one of the poorer areas of Ciudad Juarez.

Many homes are abandoned, as hundreds of thousands have fled the city due to violence and lack of jobs. The developments were build by tycoons who were responsible for bringing the factories to the region while they were in government office. They purchased thousands of hectares of land anticipating the industrial expansion. Low wages and expensive transit costs have made these communities very isolated from the rest of the city infrastructure.

According to eye witnesses the shooting occurred after Guereca helped guide several other teenagers into the United States when they were spotted and retreated back to Mexico. One of their group was detained by the U.S. Border Patrol and at least one of the boys threw a rock from the Mexican border into the United States toward the Border Patrol agent upon which he returned fire at the group, firing several rounds, and hitting Guereca in the head. The killing sparked much controversy over the use of force across international borders and sat uneasy in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico where thousands of killings have happened as a result of the insecurity caused by the war on drugs. There are still many questions unanswered about what exactly happened on June 7th near the international bridge as there are conflicting reports from the agent and eye witnesses. The border patrol agent continues to work and the family is seeking legal action. The family denies accusations that the 15-year-old boy was involved in illegal activity, however U.S. authorities and interviews with classmates suggest that he was involved in human smuggling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1490644999390-517RCRE7R7CGCJ6EYAFS/juarezyouth_23.jpg Dominic Bracco II Projects A view of some of the poorest regions of Ciudad Juarez made up primarily of factory workers for work for foreign companies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1489437590253-P6X8ZXD08B9LY787RMRR/Dominic_Bracco_II_001.jpg Dominic Bracco II Projects Angel and Gerson pose for a portrait in the municipal dump where they work in Tegucigalpa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1493381446857-D5PACOMI6IKNL432XWA7/Dominic_Bracco_II_002.jpg Dominic Bracco II Projects A campesino in Bajo Aguan, where local farm workers are waging a war against big African Palm companies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1493381455249-EM0DV2S9UIWP88D1361D/Dominic_Bracco_II_003.jpg Dominic Bracco II Projects The blood of two brothers and their friend in San Pedro Sula. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1493381487757-IJ0CRBI4ZTNDRH9488OW/Dominic_Bracco_II_004.jpg Dominic Bracco II Projects A soccer field in Tegucigalpa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1493381489044-ZPAGIU0NPV665WHL59SP/Dominic_Bracco_II_005.jpg Dominic Bracco II Projects Boys hang out in the El Ove park in Tegucigalpa. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1493381524825-BC3567ENIBUTESWB1ND5/Dominic_Bracco_II_006.jpg Dominic Bracco II Projects The body of ten-year-old David Chacon who was accidentally killed by a stray bullet during a shootout between police and an extortionist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1493381528183-NJ0MTGCRWWTGOCAC8GHH/Dominic_Bracco_II_007.jpg Dominic Bracco II Projects Lizeth Cerros mourns her murdered husband, Darwin Franco, with her children, later she received another death threat.

The Isthmus of Tehuantapec, long a center for indigenous land ownership, is now embroiled in a land dispute over wind farm land. Called “Mexico’s little waist,” the Isthmus is a wind tunnel that links the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific through mountain passes at the narrowest part of Mexico. The geographical funnel makes it one of the windiest places in North America and for a decade wind energy companies have been jostling to acquire land to power the likes of Coca-Cola and Wal Mart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1493384323841-2HRJY0X2TYBY8K8N5FH1/473000f8861ec4cc6bea7bc3040a3248578d6ba4_large..jpeg Dominic Bracco II Projects - Mexico Shark Fin (sequence) Pedro "Whitey" Romero baits a "simplera" float system offshore.

The tribes in the deep south are agriculturalists and differ significantly in collective personality from the semi-nomadic pastoralists of central southern Sudan. Some in the deep south believe that their region should receive their own form of independence. There is great tension between the deep southern, agricultural tribes and the Dinkas, the region's largest and most powerful group. Dinka's moved to the deep south in large numbers after they liberated those areas during the war.

Women were raped, forced into marriages�we could not go out, we had to cover up, to wear the burka completely [closed].� Life also became expensive, ��If you sell in the market, you couldn't do it, because you couldn't leave the house, you couldn't use your hands, if a hand was seen you� d get hit and put in prison.� Madame Gassamba returns to Timbuktu frequently where she is an active defender of women's rights, but will still not allow her daughters to return home out of fear for their safety. One of her teenage daughters was arrested during the occupation for not covering her hair while doing laundry outside. The girl was put in prison for four days. Gassamba says �she suffered a lot, got sick, and to this day, she feels bad, like she did something wrong, like it was her fault�� Gassamba blames �the bandits,� not her daughter. �Would a real Islamist ever burn a Koran?� she asks.

"I can tell you this..the first week after liberation -- as soon as they could do it -- the kids were back here playing," he said. In the early days of the Jihadist occupation of Timbuktu, these girls would cover up in the face-concealing niqabs and full-length burkas as demanded, wear it while walking to the courts, and then just take them off and play. Eventually, the situation grew too dangerous to even stay in Timbuktu, and most of the young women fled for Bamako, returning just recently.

As a result of Mexico's drug war, the number of women in prison for federal crimes has quadrupled in the past three years. In Mexico's deadliest city, Ciudad Juarez, an estimated 80 percent of female inmates are incarcerated for narcotics related crimes. The expansion of the drug cartels into street gangs has directly led to more involvement by women in crime this year, from girlfriends to family members to gang members themselves. It is now a known tactic for criminals to recruit pretty women in order to train them as assassins or use them to lure kidnapping victims. In addition, as more and more women become widows from the all-encompassing violence in Juarez, they are also also lured into criminal activity (illegal drug transportation in particular) as one of the only financial options available to support their family. Ciudad Juarez is the "front-line" of Mexico's Drug War, with 3,000 murdered in 2010 alone. The rise of women�s involvement in drug related crime is directly linked to poverty and lack of employment opportunities; systemic problems in Juarez that have only escalated after the financial collapse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1490621705842-WA5UGE4UAUCHGX476ZQU/JuarezWomensPrison_006.jpg Katie Orlinsky Projects Lorena, 50, in prison for drug trafficking.

After two years I joined him there leaving the kids behind. At the beginning I could not find much work, I did massages, clean houses and everything I need to do. My husband then got ill and they found that he had a brain tumor; the doctors told us that the operation was a high risk and with medication they managed to stabilize him, so I was the only person working. In hospital they found that he was also HIV and I realized that I was also HIV my husband pass me the virus. I felt so along without my kids so we came back to Honduras, but we did not had much money saved. But in Honduras we could not get the medicine for the HIV and we were feeling really bad, the doctor humiliate us in front of people. We try to work but they when my husband got ill, his employers realized he was HIV and they kick them out of work, and we had to move to a different area again.

They were unsuccessful. June 27th, 2015. July 2019 was officially the warmest month in Alaskan history, and Utqiagvik, the northernmost town in the United States, has been labeled “ground zero for climate change.” A child’s first seal hunt is an important rite of passage, especially now as these traditions are being challenged as a result of climate change. For thousands of years, Inupiat villagers along Alaska’s North Slope have hunted marine mammals such as seal, walrus, and whale. Hunting, fishing, and foraging for food, known as subsistence, remains one of the most significant aspects of life in Inupiat communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588091178244-8OAC2QI463ACV153RS3F/Chasing+Winter+Prime-002.JPG Katie Orlinsky Projects The annual spring bowhead whale hunt in Barrow, Alaska in April, 2016. Here Iñupiat harpooner and whaling captain Quincy Adams surveys the horizon for bowhead whales in a traditional sealskin canoe. Together with his crew, he camps out on the sea ice outside of Barrow, Alaska for weeks on end waiting for the “gift of the whale.” Quincy himself made the cross to add to this snow wall, a type of camouflage for the hunters to conceal themselves from whales swimming by, but also an apt metaphor for the all-encompassing significance of whaling in in Inupiaq communities. Almost the entire village of Barrow participates in the annual spring whale hunt in some way, either as part of a whaling crew or assisting the massive effort of butchering, transporting and processing the thousand pound mammal. Safely storing the meat from a one hundred ton massive animal is a crucial part of the process. These whales are expected to feed the community for the entire year to come, but this ancient practice is now threatened by thawing permafrost and climate change. Ice cellars-underground freezers that were carved generations ago into what used to be permanently frozen ground-are melting and completely destroyed by flooding. Others have been rendered unusable, causing the whale meat and other crucial hunted foods to spoil. Whaling, hunting, fishing and foraging for food (known as subsistence) is not only crucial as the main food source for inupiat communities; it is one of the most important aspects of cultural, spiritual and everyday life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588091189653-OHGKURZUL49AMCOZ8VJD/Chasing+Winter+Prime-003.JPG Katie Orlinsky Projects A roughly fifty-foot bowhead whale is caught during spring whaling in Utqiaġvik, Alaska.

April 28th, 2018. For thousands of years, Inupiat villagers along Alaska’s North Slope have hunted bowhead whales.

It was later shot and killed. Polar bears have grown increasingly hungry as melting sea ice affects their ability to hunt seals on the arctic ocean ice sheet. More and more bears are coming into whaling villages like Barrow, Alaska to feed off scraps and bones during the annual subsistence whale hunt. The massive influx of polar bears makes another issue in the community an even bigger issue-thawing permafrost destroying traditional ice cellars (generations-old massive underground freezers dug deep into the permafrost). Now, community members are forced to store their hunted food above ground which attracts bears. The more climate change forces polar bears to interact with humans, the more dangerous it is not only for humans, but the already vulnerable polar bear species, who will be shot and killed as self-protection. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588091209760-KHPN17WIXYJBQ87W6ETX/Chasing+Winter+Prime-007.JPG Katie Orlinsky Projects Nelson Nayokpuk of the Herman Ahsuak whaling crew in Utqiagvik, Alaska holds a polar bear skull they shot and killed the day before when it tried to eat their seal skin canoe.

October 17th, 2015. Every fall after the Kaktovik community’s annual subsistence hunt of bowhead whales, more and more polar bears arrive to feed off the whale carcass' scraps and bones. Climate change has affected the migration and diet of polar bears, who have grown increasingly hungry as melting sea ice impairs their ability to hunt seals on the Arctic Ocean ice sheet. Meanwhile, scavenging so close to town brings its own set of challenges to both polar bears and the people of Kaktovik. With a steady stream of tourists and scientists coming to view and study the polar bears year after year, bears grow increasingly accustomed to interaction with humans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588091221261-F4993EM9RZRPJCSGETKS/Chasing+Winter+Prime-009.JPG Katie Orlinsky Projects A young girl fishes on the frozen Kotzebue Sound in Kotzebue, Alaska. May 8th, 2015. In Kotzebue, Ice hole fishing for shellfish in the spring is both an important source of food and a popular past-time for Kotzebue residents. Sheefish are negatively impacted by permafrost thaw and river erosion, which is ever-increasing as a result of climate change. There is also a large crater nearby that is actively releasing sediment into shellfish spawning sites due to old buried glacier ice melting as a result of climate change. Kotzebue is facing serious infrastructure issues as a result of permafrost thaw and coastal erosion, as well as challenges to its residents' traditional subsistence hunting practices in the face of climate change. Hunting, fishing, and foraging for food are not only crucial as the main food sources for Inupiat communities in the Alaskan Arctic, they are the backbone of cultural, spiritual, and everyday life—and important rites of passage for children like this little girl. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588091228469-JPXR4NIS4XBS1G747ERD/Chasing+Winter+Prime-010.JPG Katie Orlinsky Projects Sheefish on the frozen Kotzebue Sound in May 2015. Ice hole fishing is a popular past-time and these large fish are an important source of food for people in Kotzebue. Sheefish are under threat however as a result of a large crater releasing sediment into their spawning sites which is caused by old buried glacier ice melting as a result of climate change. Permafrost thaw and river erosion contribute to the problem. Kotzebue is one of Alaska’s largest predominantly Inupiaq native communities with a population of over 3,000 people. It is the main transportation and commerce hub for the entire Northwest Arctic region. Kotzebue faces large infrastructure issues as a result of permafrost thaw and coastal erosion, and challenges to its subsistence hunting traditions that are affecting communities across the Arctic (Kotzebue was visited by former President Obama during his trip to Alaska to highlight climate change). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588091238452-DLG42DCNOGIS58JJFU8A/Chasing+Winter+Prime-011.JPG Katie Orlinsky Projects Vebjørn Aishana Reitan prepares to hunt caribou in Kaktovik, Alaska, an Iñupiat village on the coast of the Beaufort Sea located within the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. October 18th, 2015. The Refuge is currently in danger of being opened up to gas and oil drilling. This not only threatens the 200,000 caribou that calve and raise their young there, but the people who rely on them. For Iñupiat and Gwich'in communities, subsistence hunting is not only a source of food, but a tradition that is crucial to their cultural, spiritual and everyday life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588091238593-NIETCBBEAVP2N5UWVW5O/Chasing+Winter+Prime-012.JPG Katie Orlinsky Projects An Inupiat family hunts a walrus on the sea ice in the Arctic Ocean near Utqiagvik, Alaska (formerly known as Barrow).

April 27th, 2016. Hunting is an important rite of passage for the Inupiat families of the Alaskan Arctic, especially as these traditions are at an even greater risk of disappearing because of climate change. Whaling, hunting, fishing, and foraging for food (known as subsistence) is not only crucial as a food source for remote Inupiat communities, it is one of the most important aspects of cultural, spiritual, and everyday life. Traditionally hunting was a gendered activity, with women focused more on processing, cooking, and foraging, but that has all changed; as climate change and modernization undermine Inupiat subsistence practices, more women are engaging in them at every step to help keep traditions alive.  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588091248937-G2OYIFD8D247ZT71YMBI/Chasing+Winter+Prime-014.JPG Katie Orlinsky Projects Walrus blood in the Arctic Ocean after an Inupiat family hunts a walrus on the sea ice near Utqiagvik, Alaska (formerly known as Barrow).

August 8th, 2018. The crater, known as the "hell crater" to locals, is a thermokarst depression, or permafrost “megaslump.” Roughly half a mile long and 300 feet deep, the Batagaika Crater started forming in the 1960s after nearby forests were cleared, exposing the ground to sun that heated up the ground, and the permafrost underneath it (when permafrost laced with ice thaws, earth collapses and forms craters and lakes). To this day the crater continues to grow. The ancient soils of Arctic permafrost, seen in the wall of the crater, hold the organic remains of leaves, grass, and animals that died thousands of years ago, during the Ice Age. All that carbon had been safely bound in frozen earth—until now. Arctic permafrost is thawing much faster than expected, releasing carbon gases that could drastically speed up climate change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588091532226-KPJ2E4TOGTPE9OYVVA4K/Carbon+Threat+Prime-004.JPG Katie Orlinsky Projects Permafrost along the perimeter of the Batagaika Crater in the Siberian town of Batagay, Russia.

On this expedition the team was able to confirm that the Alatna river corridor provided the route that beavers took to cross the Continental Divide of the Brooks Range and move north. Arctic Tree-line is the area between tundra and forest, defined as the northernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere where trees can grow. Studies show that tree-line is moving north as a result of climate change. Beavers are among a number of animal species, such as moose and snowshoe hare, that are moving north as a result of warming weather and climate change. By the time these new trees arrive and move tree-line, the tundra will already be completely transformed (think thawed permafrost everywhere, new tall shrubby vegetation and different wildlife). And with permafrost thawing and snow duration shorter, wildlife are already capitalizing. Beavers in particular have the unique ability to singlehandedly transform a landscape in a variety of irreversible ways such as building dams, clearing trees and creating ponds and meadows. Scientists like Ken Tape are only just beginning to understand what this means for the future, in particular the impact these landscape changes could have on accelerating permafrost thaw. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588091611858-32KKOOM2KIDA6F87VT0Q/Carbon+Threat+Prime-011.JPG Katie Orlinsky Projects The "Kingdom of Permafrost" museum, a tourist attraction that includes walking through permafrost tunnels decorated with psychedelic lights and ice sculptures, is dug into the side of a hill on the outskirts of Yakutsk, Siberia.

Beavers are among a number of animal species moving north as a result of warming weather and climate change, however they have the unique ability to singlehandedly transform the landscape in a variety of irreversible ways such as building dams, clearing trees and creating ponds and meadows. Scientists like Ken Tape are only just beginning to understand what this means for the future, in particular the impact these landscape changes could have on accelerating permafrost thaw.

The blanket toss is a celebratory Iñupiat tradition, originating from long ago when hunters would get launched into the air on what was (and still is) a giant trampoline made out of seal skins in order to catch a glimpse of far-distant prey. This traditional blanket toss was held at Point Hope’s annual whaling feast celebration. June 6th, 2015. According to the Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, Point Hope is the longest continually inhabited community in North America, and for the people of Point Hope, nothing is more important than the bowhead whale. Their calendar year revolves around hunting, fishing and gathering, a lifestyle Alaskans call “subsistence,” which is as much cultural tradition as dietary and economic necessity. This tradition is at risk as a result of climate change; erosion and thawing permafrost are destroying ice cellars that store the meat while at the same time eating up the landscape, making travel and hunting increasingly dangerous on the fragile, shifting ground. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588095136237-O1DB56Y8HNZKAIDVK2HX/Carbon+Threat+Prime-001.JPG Katie Orlinsky Projects Thawing permafrost beneath the earth's surface releases methane gas into Arctic lakes causing gas bubbles to form in the frozen water.

Before surfacing in Guinea, and later spreading to Liberia and Sierra Leone, the virus was largely relegated to the remote forest regions of Central Africa where sporadic outbreaks were typically short lived and claimed a relatively small number of lives. It is thought that the scope of previous outbreaks was largely contained by virtue of the extremely remote and isolated nature of the environments in which they occurred. Hunters and other people who interact regularly with the forest and wildlife that lives there were typically the first victims. While no one yet knows where exactly the virus originates, researchers know that it lurks somewhere in the forest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588920755108-EWLVVPAV3LWJT08GT3V6/Tuberculosis.jpg Projects - The Last Mile is the Longest In Cambodia, the monsoon season can turn entire communities into islands for months at a time, cutting them off from medical services.

But over the past two years, many of these features were almost permanently destroyed, when jihadi militants took over the cities of the north, like Gao and Timbuktu. Imposing their own despotic version of religious law, with brutal punishments and public executions, the jihadis threatened to decimate the relics of Mali’s ancient past, and suppress the lively spirit of its joyous communities. Women bore the brunt of this crackdown: they were forced to cover their brightly lit clothes with dark hijabs and face-covering burkas, and banned from work, school, or regular access to medical care. Behavior deemed “immoral” resulted in imprisonment and beatings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1493560473682-KP9SE5EJIIDYHRFK3Q5J/b4b3f41d75e3d7cd1ab0209e2da3d80d6b67d1a3_large..jpeg Projects - Marcha Al Mar The ocean is man’s last true relationship with the wild.

Despite the tremendous resources and ideas brought to bear, intended once and for all to set right Haiti’s development and governance challenges, many of the issues that have plagued the country for decades, including corruption, violence, dependence on foreign assistance, and poor infrastructure, remain deeply entrenched. Hopes raised high have fallen, replaced in the minds of many Haitians by bitter resentment that they have once again been exploited and forgotten. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588096721542-DDDVLQMOWFA76X9LBA1J/Childmigration_010.jpg Projects - Children Do Not Migrate, They Flee When a massive influx of Central American children streamed across the U.S.-Mexican border in 2014, it sparked a political crisis, and a heated debate about the causes of this “surge.” U.S. politicians argued that the children were coming merely for economic reasons (that is, simply to take American jobs), rather than face the complicated reality that we have a refugee crisis on our very own doorstep. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1493558743523-3NPJ27E7LGIYLE4R6LQH/MH1708.jpg Projects - MH17 On July 17, 2014 Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 was shot down by a surface-to-air missile as it passed over eastern Ukraine en route from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur, killing all 298 people on board. Immediate suspicion, backed up by on-the-ground evidence and analysis from Western intelligence agencies and international investigators, implicated the pro-Russian rebels currently fighting a war in the region, who seemingly received the weapon directly from Russia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1588920937906-ZMHQUT7EQTXMALOZ7WD0/Grieg-thumb.jpg Projects - Edvard Grieg Children's Choir The power of music: Six young voices pay tribute to our front line workers throughout the world who haven't stopped fighting COVID-19 since the day it arrived. The Edvard Grieg children’s choir came together during quarantine to give thanks on behalf of us all. Using Zoom to rehearse from the safety of their homes before recording the music standing two meters apart in the empty music studios at Grieg Hall during quarantine, the six-member choir sang The Lord is my Shepherd (hymn 23) by Howard Goodall (Faber Music) under the leadership of Conductor Håkon Matti Skrede. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1489512213184-CQ5AP4VRXKXJEATEXLHJ/2016_IowaCaucus_01.jpg Projects - 2016 Iowa Caucuses Another four years have passed and once again the circus of presidential candidates and accompanying media descended on the state of Iowa for the first real vote of the campaign.

Gloria became mother at the age of 12, a consequence of the constant sexual abuse of her father. Mexico has become a worldwide leader in teen pregnancy, and in the Mixe community in particular, the psychological harm of sexual abuse is rarely considered. https://www.primecollective.com/understanding-violence daily 0.75 2017-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1490647544987-NDLDMQXPXGWIANGYQVBR/juarezyouth_18.jpg Understanding Violence Friends and relatives try to revive a woman in the shade, after she passed out from heat exhaustion during a funeral at midday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58c3fa20d1758e424eeb527d/1490647581311-2SCIO4QTHBS763ZXCHJQ/juarezyouth_01.jpg Understanding Violence - Drug Violence in Ciudad Juárez Dominic Bracco II spent years exploring the impact on youth of the violence afflicting Ciudad Juárez, Mexico - at the time the most violent city in the world.
