    A day in the life of a local shopkeeper woman in Shangri La. It was really very heartening to see the women of Yunnan stand alongside their men and participate equally in domestic and economic responsibilities.: by harishvdevnani, Views[173]
         		 The wrinkles on this woman's face depict a life lived in hard conditions but the serenity of her face shows the comfort that community and religion bring to even the most difficult of lives.

         		 Despite banning shark fishing in 2010, Hondurans and Utilians still actively catch sharks – this photograph is of a baby shark retrieved from its’ slaughtered mother in Jan 2011. Because of the high demand and price for shark fins internationally, Utilian fishermen often turn to illegal and inhumane ways of obtaining income, further demonstrating the role of the ‘first’ world in the perpetuation of economic inequalities. Sadly, the devastating environmental consequences globally appear irrelevant.: by majazonjic, Views[318]
         		 Overfishing for tourist consumption further adds to the problems of overpopulation and the commodification of the marine environment, and is vastly exacerbated by the tourists’ lack of knowledge surrounding these issues. The appalling lack of fish species in the Utilian Coral Reef system – also the island’s main source of revenue – is threatening the viability of both the reef and the tourism industry itself.: by majazonjic, Views[406]
         		 Overpopulation is placing increased strain on both marine and terrestrial ecosystems in Utila. To satisfy the demand for sustenance, Utilian waters are being overfished at alarming rates; indiscriminate of species. Those species with long reproductive cycles do not get a chance to rebound their numbers before being fished out again, resulting in the depletion of fish stock throughout Utilian waters.: by majazonjic, Views[287]

         		 Clarito is a resident of Camponado, Utila's most impoverished neighbourhood. Many immigrants from the Honduran mainland have settled in this area after arriving to the island in search of newly created jobs in the tourist and hospitality industry, but unable to find any, live under extreme poverty.: by majazonjic, Views[471]

    Orangutan Kalimantan (Pongo Pygmaeus Pygmaeus) is an endemic species who live in Borneo. This species has been noted as 'endangered species' by IUCN Red List. World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) estimated that there's only 2000 pygmaeus still living in West Borneo. Illegal logging, wildlife hunting and land use change are the factors that caused its extinction.Few month later after i took this picture, local people said that this pygmaeus gave birth.I believe that hope is still existing today.: by michaeleko, Views[1096]

As this traditional tattoo may be threatened to lost, so does the local knowledge. I hope, the next generation will re-learn this local wisdom.: by michaeleko, Views[2809]

    In my trip, I went to Mendalam River. That's one of many rivers in the Heart of Borneo area. The indigenous peoples depend to the river as their resources for living. When I arrived in their village, one big company is planning to do logging at upriver from this hamlet. Peoples refuse it. They have learnt from the terrible history among them. In early 2004, this area is a site of illegal logging. Then a big flood happened. Now, people are still fight to refuse the logging plan.: by michaeleko, Views[647]
