The mining village of Ríoturbio, in Mieres, was built in the 60s to provide a home for mining workers in the area. With 602 homes, it once had a population of over 2,500 people, but the closure of coal mines in the valley has caused the exodus of its population and the few people that remain are mostly elderly.(Mieres, Spain.

The River Ran Black

August 18, 2020: A girl, standing before her tea shop, which is completely ruined by sea water in Namkhana Island. After Cyclone Aila struck the Sundarbans in 2009, it became clear that frequent cyclonic events will turn the residents of Sundarbans into climate refugees. Within May 5, 2019 - May 25, 2021, Sundarbans faced cyclones- Fani, Bulbul, Amphan & Yaas – each devastating enough to justify the fear of mass displacement. In Indian Sundarbans, 54 of the 104 island support a human population of about 4.5 million. Extensive deforestation & a huge part of mangroves getting submerged has left little trees to shield the soil from high tides & heavy rains, increased soil erosion & reduced efficiency to prevent global warming & block cyclones resulting in huge destruction from Aila, Yaas & Amphaan. COVID-19-lockdown has left locals unemployed with no income. With time, ‘Sundarbans is destined to be the arena of the largest outward migration of humans in history.

Sinking Sundarbans

Date: 18 Jun 2017
Location: Morete Community, Pasataza Province, Ecuador.

A woman of the Sapara people looks through the window of a small plane that has just landed in the Morete community, on the Kichwa territory of the Ecuadorian Amazon.

This territory is surrounded by thousands of acres of primary jungle, and is therefore only reachable through the air. There is no road, and it would take a person almost a week to get there by foot through muddy lands. The absence of a road is a blessing for the local people, as it enables them to control and preserve the territory, thus preventing its deforestation.
The arrival of an airplane is a special happening, as it is the only contact with the "modern world".
