People gathered to watch a bullfight locally known as sharer lorai, at Bolir Haat, on the banks of the Karnaphuli river, in Bakolia, Chittagong. Unlike bullfights in Spain or Portugal where matadors fight against enraged bulls and kill them, the opponent of a bull in the traditional bullfights in Bangladesh is another bull and it is not killed unless it is severely injured. Bullfight is popular in the rural areas of Bangladesh and in Chittagong it takes place about a hundred days before the Eid-ul-Azha (Eid of sacrifice) mostly with the animals to be sacrificed on the Muslim festival. Chittagong, Bangladesh. December 8, 2008. (photo)

A child plays with a traditional top locally known as lattu or latim, at a slum, in Baridhara Lake area of Dhaka city, in Bangladesh. February 22, 2007. This is a very popular and simple game which can be played by children as young as 5. The game involves spinning a lattu - a solid turnip shaped wooden toy with a grooved lower half with two nails dug at the top and the bottom. A cotton string is wrapped around the lower half of the lattu. The lattu is then thrown on the ground with a jerk and the string is pulled out as the lattu moves round. The children take turns at spinning the top, and the one who spins it the longest, is the winner. (photo)

A child plays with a traditional top locally known as lattu or latim, at a slum, in Baridhara Lake area of Dhaka city, in Bangladesh. February 22, 2007. This is a very popular and simple game which can be played by children as young as 5. The game involves spinning a lattu - a solid turnip shaped wooden toy with a grooved lower half with two nails dug at the top and the bottom. A cotton string is wrapped around the lower half of the lattu. The lattu is then thrown on the ground with a jerk and the string is pulled out as the lattu moves round. The children take turns at spinning the top, and the one who spins it the longest, is the winner. (photo)

A fisher man caught spotted snakeheads, locally known as Taki maach, a type of fish that thrives in polluted water, from the river Buriganga. He says, It is not difficult to sell these fishes. Water is polluted, but not fish. They are fresh from the river. When you eat, you can see fresh and white meat. The Buriganga, one of the major rivers in Bangladesh, is severely polluted. About 80% sewage of Dhaka city is released directly into the river daily making its water pitch black and gluey. Thousands of people who live on the bank of the river continue to use this highly contaminated water from river to wash, bath and even to drink. Dhaka, Bangladesh. February 15, 2007. (photo)

Nipa Palm (Golpata) Flowers: Nipa Palm locally known as golpata/golpati/gulag/jahk (Thai) Nypa fruticans, is a member of the family Arecaceae (= Palmae). It is a mangrove species, distributed throughout the mangroves of Asia, Oceania and east coast of Africa. Nipa generally occurs in the mangroves along the banks of the rivers and streams, and needs regular inundation. In the Sundarbans it grows in slightly and moderately saline zones. People in south-western parts of Bangladesh i.e. Ramu, Coxs Bazar grow nipa in the agricultural fields to a limited extent for domestic use. Root ash is useful for relieving toothache as a medicine.

South America: Bolivia - deforestation - These images, from Landsats 2, 4, and 7, show the progression of deforestation in Bolivia from 1975 to 2000. This area lies east of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, in an area of tropical dry forest. Since the mid-1980s, the resettlement of people from the Altiplano (the Andean high plains) and a large agricultural development effort (the Tierras Baja project) has lead to this area's deforestation. Soybean production began in earnest in the early 1970s following a substantial increase in the crop's world price. By the late 1980s, soybeans represented the country's most important oilseed crop. In 1988, soybean production amounted to about 150,000 tons. About 1/3 of the soybean harvest was used domestically in the form of soybean meal for the poultry industry. Other soybean meal was shipped to Peru and western Europe, and raw soybeans were exported via rail to Brazil. Locally manufactured soybean oil also competed with contraband products from ne
