  • Huaorani Indians making fire. Gabaro Community. <br />
Amazon rainforest, ECUADOR.  South America<br />
Fire is traditionally made by rubbing a hard wood stick in a hole made in another hard wood base. Both woods having been previously hardened by using fire. Underneath the base is a wod of kapak wool - a natural product from the forest. This will ignite when the heat caused by the friction of the rubbing action is sufficient to set it alight. As soon as the first sparks and smoke appear in the kapok it is meticulously nurtured by blowing and adding tiny pieces of tinder until there is an active flame.<br />

  • Verreaux's sifaka (Propithecus verreauxi) 'dancing' across the ground.  They only do this when there is a clearing - they prefer to move from tree to tree by leaping.<br />
Berenty Reserve, Southern MADAGASCAR<br />
These are large (length 900-1075mm and weight: 3-4kg), vertically clinging and leaping lemurs. They are diurnal and live in mixed multi mail / multi female groups of up to 14 individuals. Verreaux's sifaka feed primarily on leaves, fruit and flowers. They have one young born between August and September. At first the infant clings to the mother's front then as it gets larger rides on her back.<br />
DISTRIBUTION: Forested regions from Tsiribihina River in the west, south to the Tolagnaro area in the south-east and inland as far as Isalo Massif. They live in Dry deciduous forests in the west and Xerophytic spiny and gallery forests in the south.<br />
THREATENED: The various habitats in which this species are found are all becoming increasingly fragmented due cutting for timber,  firewood and production of charcoal.

  • Rajusthani pastoralist cooking his dinner at the Pushkar camel and livestock fair which takes place in the Hindu month of Kartik (October / November) ten days after Diwali (Festival of Lights). Pushkar has always been the the region's main market for herdsman and farmers buying and selling camels, horses, indigenous breeds of cattle and even elephants. Over the years this annual trading event has increased in volume to become one of the largest in Asia. Temporary tents and campsites suddenly appear to accomodate the thousands of pilgrims, villagers and tourists. Entertainers and contests abound and a festive funfair atmosphere prevails over Pushkar during the Mela's 2 week duration. Thousands of men come first with their camels, horses and cattle and camp on the dunes to transact business. 3 days before the full moon the women arrive beautifully attired. The town of Pushkar is one of the holiest centers of Hinduism and houses one of the few Brahma Temples in India. It is one of the 5 essential pilgrimage centers which a Hindu must visit in his lifetime along with Badrinath, Puri, Rameshwaram and Dwarka. The 12 day fair culminates in a religious Hindu pilgrimage and reaches a crescendo on the night of the full moon (Purnima) when pilgrims take a dip in the holy lake.  <br />

  • Woman collecting cow dung to be used for cooking fuel with The Fort which stands 76 meters above the town of Jaisalmer and is enclosed by a 9km wall in the back ground. Rajasthan, INDIA<br />
Founded in 1156 Jaisalmer grew to be a major staging post on the trade route across the forbidding Thar desert from India to the west. It is known as the Golden City as the fort and town's buildings are built from the local yellow sandstone. The bustling narrow streets are lined with tradesmen selling their wares. Many of the smalll shops are occupied by descendents of the original owners. There are many exceptional Havelis (mansions of rich merchants - exquistely carved) both in the fort and the old walled town.
