Travel Argentina
March 25, 2024 - Buenos Aires, Argentina: A man drinks herbal tea from a traditional mate, at the ATIS bar, which was once the Santa Maria de Salud monastery, home to nuns since 1800. This image could be in the garden of a local's house. "Mate" is a way that brings locals together to share their feelings with friends, through conversation, culture, socialization, and hospitality. In the last government's Argentina, inequalities widened drastically due to severe cuts and austerity measures, to the point where even the International Monetary Fund (IMF) might be envious. The percentage of the population living at or below the poverty line rose to 57.4%, about 27 million citizens. The primary cause of this deterioration in living standards was the government's decision to devalue the peso, which, alongside other measures, deprived much of society of the ability to access basic goods. Public spending has been reduced by about a third, particularly in the areas of health, social security, and education. In the heart of Buenos Aires, hardship, poverty, exhaustion and despair are etched in the faces of ordinary people. (Maro Kouri/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

Kalash, ancient tribe of Pakistan in Taliban region
May 14, 2024- Kallas Valleys, Pakistan: Two young Kalash women wash their clothes in the river, enjoying their sisterhood, chatting in the bright sunlight to the music of the Chitral River. Kalash women can marry the man they fall in love with, study what they want at the universities of nearby cities, respect the tradition of their tribe and some like to the village, wear their traditional, colorful costumes during holy days and feasts experiencing the unique freedom of women in the entire country. Women stand out for their beauty, they are proud, free with obvious sociability and active participation in the democratic processes of the Community. They dress in a long black tunic (Sangachs) embroidered with colorful geometric shapes on the hem, on the edges of the sleeves and on the jacket. They are adorned with necklaces of colored beads, the number of which indicates the degree of their economic status. Their hair is combed into five braids, where the main one, in the center of the head, has been braided since a young age and has never been cut. It is said that Alexander the Great, on the eve of a battle, doubted its outcome. However, the battle was won thanks to the unexpected intervention of women. To honor their help, he called a meeting and asked his men to give their helmets to the women, who had proven more worthy. A general then placed his helmet Shusut on the head of the female leader. In memory of this, the "Shusut" was established and Kalash women wear at all times to honor the respect given to them. The Kalash Valleys are located in the mountains of Pakistan, just a few kilometers from Taliban-controlled areas, where Spring Celebration is an annual event. Kalash is a small ethnic group, believed to trace its origins back to Alexander the Great, lives here in relative isolation. For centuries, invaders forced them into remote areas, where they fiercely resisted the Arab conquerors and their religion. (Maro Kouri / Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

'Live sick or flee': pollution fears for El Salvador's rivers as mining ban lifted
The landmark prohibition on mining in 2017, a world first, has been reversed by authoritarian leader Nayib Bukele but the move has met fierce resistance from environmentalists.
On 23 December, its congress voted to overturn the ban on metals mining, a move championed by the hardline president, Nayib Bukele, who is prioritising economic growth over environmental concerns.

'Waste has value': how surfing helps Colombia solve its plastic problem
The Amigos del Mar has found a way to help Tierra Bomba island clean up its beaches - and get children back to school.
Amigos del Mar has set up the Olas Paz programme (known as the Clean Wave Project in English), transforming the thousands of plastic bottle caps that pollute Tierra Bomba into surfboard fins.
In Tierra Bomba, plastic bottle caps, bags, wrappers, toys and other plastic waste constantly washes up on the white sand beaches, where it accumulates due to the lack of adequate waste collection services.

'We empower ourselves': the women cleaning up Bolivia’s Lake Uru Uru
Once clean enough to drink, the Andean lake was poisoned by mining pollution and urban waste. But now Indigenous women are using giant reeds to revive the vital ecosystem.
Fed up with the ever-increasing pollution, the sisters Tatiana and Dayana Blanco and other young women formed the Uru Uru Team in 2019.
The first step was to clean the water. Their forebears used totora and so they decided to do the same. As well as being used to build floating platforms and houses, totora is important for treating sewage and mining wastewater as it traps minerals in its roots, leaves and stems.
Dayana and Tatiana Blanco members of the Team Uru Uru - a group of young indigenous women who came together to clean up Lago Uru Uru [Lake Uru Uru], Bolivia. Mining and plastic waste is dumped there. The waters are contaminated but the women create rafts out of plastic waste and plant totoro on them to clean the water.

How a monk and a Hippo joined forces to tackle Bangkok’s plastic pollution
Desperate to restore the Chao Praya River to a pristine state, an abbot in the Thai capital began recycling in his temple. Now he has a floating ally in his efforts to clean up the river.
The Chao Phraya River is the largest waterway flowing through central Thailand.
In Bangkok, it is an artery for a network of water buses, ferries and wooden long-tail boats. But it's not just carrying people. According to research by the Rotterdam-based non-profit organisation Ocean Cleanup, the Chao Praya River carries 4,000 tonnes of plastic waste to the sea every year.
Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, walks through Wat Chak Daeng on July 30, 2024 in Bangkok. The HIPPO project by Seven Clean Seas, in collaboration with Wat Chak Daeng temple, uses a solar-powered vessel to collect plastic waste from Bangkok's Chao Phraya River and recycles it to reduce environmental pollution. Phra Mahapranom Dhammalangkaro, the abbot, leads a project at Wat Chak Daeng that turns plastic waste into monk robes, upcycling around 40 tons of plastic since 2015 and serving as a model for environmental conservation.

'Your plastic is here': how Easter Island copes with 500 pieces of rubbish an hour washing ashore
One of the world's most remote populations must deal with a flood of multinational plastic, much of it tossed overboard by the factory fishing ships hoovering up sealife just offshore.
About 2,300 miles west of central Chile, Easter Island (also known as Rapa Nui) is among the most remote spots on Earth - and among the most polluted.
It is estimated that 50 times more plastic washes ashore on these beaches than on the Chilean mainland, largely a result of the vast spiralling current known as the South Pacific gyre.

'Your plastic is here': how Easter Island copes with 500 pieces of rubbish an hour washing ashore
One of the world's most remote populations must deal with a flood of multinational plastic, much of it tossed overboard by the factory fishing ships hoovering up sealife just offshore.
About 2,300 miles west of central Chile, Easter Island (also known as Rapa Nui) is among the most remote spots on Earth - and among the most polluted.
It is estimated that 50 times more plastic washes ashore on these beaches than on the Chilean mainland, largely a result of the vast spiralling current known as the South Pacific gyre.
Kina Paoa Kannegiesser sorts plastic from seashells at Ovahe beach on Easter Island. She melts down the plastic she collects and turns it into miniature versions of Rapa Nui's famous moai statues to sell to tourists, who thereby take a bit of plastic back off the island.

On the island of Carti, the most populated of the archipelago, there is no waste management system. Everything is thrown into the sea and contaminates the banks. The inhabitants live in unsanitary conditions, which leads to viruses or diseases, such as dengue fever.

No swimming, no surfing: how a summer of sewage is ruining the British seaside day out.
Red flags are going up on beaches from Scarborough to Whitstable as pollution levels soar and businesses are forced to close due to sewage discharges.
Yorkshire Water says it has spent more than £100m in recent years improving local processing facilities.
Meanwhile, the sewage keeps coming. A massive discharge near Blackpool on Tuesday comes after 69,000 such events last year across the UK’s north-west from United Utilities. Yet the company still found the money to pay £300m in dividends to shareholders.
