📍In these photos, residents of the Conchaccota community are suffering from the driest period in almost a half-century in Peru. Due to the dried-up lagoon, animals are dying and the planting of potatoes, the only vegetable grown, was postponed. Now Peruvians may not have enough food. It rained only twice in the past eight months. ‘Every day, I ask — I hope — the rain falls... when there is rain the grasses grow, the potatoes grow,’ says Huamani, a local farmer.

Serious global changes affect the entire planet. People from Yemen are also faced with the consequences of global warming. ‘It’s impossible to keep animals. Nothing grows here. What would we feed them? We had to sell our livestock’, says a Yemeni farmer, the main character of our documentary No Way Back: Heat.

🐫Qatar camels working overtime due to World Cup.

Thanks to the World Cup, animal handlers profit several times more than they normally would, forcing camels to work harder. But while making selfies on a camel, the fans don’t care about the health of the animals.

One of the handlers shared that a camel should rest after five rides, but ‘now, people are saying we can’t wait ... because they have other plans they need to go to the middle of the desert’. So, the animals are taken for 15 to 20 — sometimes even 40 rides — without a break.

Qatar’s camels surely must envy Zimbabwe’s animals from the 'Wild is Life' sanctuary. Here, the elephants, monkeys, giraffes and others suffered from hunters and are provided with special care. When an Elephant Smiles tells about those who devoted their life to saving animals and returning them to the wild.

🥊These photos show Cuban female boxers in training. Decades later, the authorities allowed them to participate in competitions. However, it is not yet known whether this will be at a professional level.

Previously, coaches did not want to train boxing women in Cuba since it was believed to be a dangerous sport for them. But now the situation has changed, as women are officially allowed to train at state sports centers. 'I have a new hope for life, because my life has changed,' says Giselle Bella Garcia, one of the female boxers.
