Men lay pieces of processed leather over a bed of grass to sun dry them. These leather are processed at the tanneries in Hazaribagh area with minimum environmental standards and practices. The acid based chemicals used for processing the hides are released directly into the Buriganga river. Like many other industries unconcerned about the environmental factors, tanneries also causing serious damage to the environment. Hazaribagh, Dhakas biggest leather processing zone, is right in the middle of one of the most densely populated residential areas. Bangladesh. February 20, 2007. (photo)

The Kaziranga National Park is the oldest national park in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. It was created a century ago as a forest reserve by the British Viceroy Lord Curzon, at the behest of his wife, to protect the Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros. A UNESCO World Heritage site declared in 1985 the park is globally known for its importance as one of the last undisturbed habitats of the Great Indian One-Horned Rhinos. The price of a rhino horn varies from 20,000 to 35,000 Dollars in the international market. Today the park homes many endangered animals, including rhinos, tigers, elephants, wild buffaloes, swamp deer and numerous bird species. Kaziranga, Assam, India. February 22, 2009. (photo)

Of the many customs and rituals that pervades Udappu or Udappuwa, a small village in Sri Lanka, known for its elaborate Hindu temples and unique festivals, perhaps the most important is the 18 day long Draupadi Goddess Great Festival, in the Tamil month of Avani which corresponds to late July to early August. The 18-day period is spent in prayer and fasting, with a priest reciting the Mahabharata epic to remind everyone of the story of Draupadi, the five Pandava brothers' common wife, whose chaste and virtuous ways enabled her to recover the kingdom they been deprived of by King Duryodhana. The Draupadi festival comes to a conclusion on the final evening when the entire male population of Udappu walk barefoot over a bed of red hot coals without injury in a ceremony called Tee Mithi in Tamil language.

There are hundreds of children who take refuge in the big buildings of Kamlapur Railway Station and Sadarghat Ferry Terminal. They try to earn a living by helping passengers carry their luggage to and from their trains and boats, or by selling cigarettes and fruit on the ferries. They sleep in a group, almost on top of each other, in order to protect themselves. Men, older street children, drug addicts, even policemen, often try to use them sexually. Many children have been victims of such sexual violence, but find it hard to admit openly. Bangladesh. (photo)

The Kaziranga National Park is the oldest national park in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. It was created a century ago as a forest reserve by the British Viceroy Lord Curzon, at the behest of his wife, to protect the Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros. A UNESCO World Heritage site declared in 1985 the park is globally known for its importance as one of the last undisturbed habitats of the Great Indian One-Horned Rhinos. The price of a rhino horn varies from 20,000 to 35,000 Dollars in the international market. Today the park homes many endangered animals, including rhinos, tigers, elephants, wild buffaloes, swamp deer and numerous bird species. Kaziranga, Assam, India. February 22, 2009. (photo)

The Kaziranga National Park is the oldest national park in the northeastern Indian state of Assam. It was created a century ago as a forest reserve by the British Viceroy Lord Curzon, at the behest of his wife, to protect the Greater One-Horned Rhinoceros. A UNESCO World Heritage site declared in 1985 the park is globally known for its importance as one of the last undisturbed habitats of the Great Indian One-Horned Rhinos. The price of a rhino horn varies from 20,000 to 35,000 Dollars in the international market. Today the park homes many endangered animals, including rhinos, tigers, elephants, wild buffaloes, swamp deer and numerous bird species. Kaziranga, Assam, India. February 22, 2009. (photo)
