Pages & Pixels: Sudan work on UNFPA site

The UNFPA is using another batch of images surrounding population dynamics and climate change on their current website.

This particular image, used on their current home page, was taken in the dusty cattle camps of southern Sudan. The woman in the photo was gathering and spreading burned  cow manure so that later on those in that village could spread it on their bodies to provide protection from the sun and ever-present tsetse flies.

To give you some context, here are a few other images taken on that assignment. Some you may be familiar with, others I haven’t shown before.
