“social photographer,” has been highly acclaimed for his work- as well as criticized. He has created several extraordinary projects throughout his career, several of them documenting the suffering of extremely poor and distressed people. His projects “Sahel: the End of the Road,” “Workers,” “Exodus,” and “Migrations” are filled with shocking photographs of humans in the most impoverished regions of the world.

Sahara Step 2: Cultural geography of Africa South of the Sahara Read the attached document on the cultural features of Africa South of the Sahara to answer the following questions: How has the physical environment of the Sahel influenced ways of life in this subregion? The Sahel, the land of Africa beneath the Sahara, is filled with large water systems and a range of elevated lands: plateaus, mountains, and valleys. In some ways, it made for an easier life. Having the large water regions near by

In the meantime during the early 1960s, these frontiers have been the foundation for international recognition of sovereign states in the region. To avoid weakening these newly formed states, the African Union (AU), and “the Organization of African Unity (OAU)

The Sahel is an area in Africa which suffers droughts and it is hard to grow crops due to the hot climate. Seasonal shifts there lead to decreased rainfall and the drought tolerant maize helps farmers adapt to climate change. The Sahel is the transition zone in Africa. It has a great typical ecoclimatic and biogeographic reflection of a semi-arid climate. It is located between the Sahara to the north and the Sudanian Savanna which was historically called the Sudan region to the south.[1] The Sahel

The desertification of Sahel is causing devastating environmental issue in Africa. Desertification is the process of how fertile land becomes desert. This is usually cause by drought, deforestation, or poor agriculture planning. If it is overgrazed fields, or even the increase of wood needed to burn, human interaction has helped advance the expansion of desertification. The area currently surrounding Khartoum, Sudan was once covered in small forests, but because of the increasing need for farm land

The countries falling in Sahel region are categorised as developing or underdeveloped countries at large. They are plagued by repeated spells of drought followed by famine. One would imagine, that when developing countries like India battled famine through green revolution as far back as 1905-06 at Bundelkhand, why the Sahel region with fertile land has not been able to do so. Sahel was faced with drought conditions through 1910s, 1940, 1960, 1970s and the most recent one being in 2012. To understand

The people living in Sahel, Sahara, and African rainforest have exceedingly different rituals when it comes to Jobs, Trade, Travel, and Daily lives. In all probability this is due to the diverse climates. Africa is the birthplace of modern humans and is home to 52 countries, 1,000 different languages, and 1 billion people. The continent can be broken into many different regions including the Sahara, Sahel, and rainforests. Even though there are very manifold climates in Africa, they often have more
