  • CHINA. Gansu Province. Dunhuang. Two workers having just finished trying to clear a road from encroaching sand. Desertification is the process by which fertile land becomes desert, typically as a result of drought, deforestation, or inappropriate agriculture. 41 % of China's landmass in classified as arid or desert. Innapropriate farming methods and overcultivation have contributed to the spreading of deserts in China in recent years. The desert has even encroached upon the capital, Beijing, which is bombarded by sandstorms each spring.

  • A burning field in the Beng Per Wildlife Sanctuary, in northern Cambodia. It is a sanctuary in name only as most of the land has been sold by the government for agricultural concessions. During the dry season between January to March, hundreds of fires continually  rage across the country. Land is burnt by farmers, loggers and local people looking to either capture wildlife or clear land for agriculture. The South East Asian country has one of the fastest rates of deforestation in the world and it is estimated only 3% of primary forest is left throughout the country. Forest clearance is fuelled by demand for agricultural land and high value species of tree for the Asian furniture market.

Exports are mainly to countries such as China, Singapore and Malaysia. Large swathes of Cambodia's natural forests have been cleared to make way for plantations that generate large revenues for the government. There is only 3% of original primary forests left in the country due to the nation having one of the fastest rates of deforestation in the world, mainly due to land conversion to plantations.

  • Trash lies on the shore of the mangroves of Zhanjiang, Guangdong Province, washed up and deposited at high tide. Intense industrial development in the region has led to high levels of pollution. Over the past century, the world has lost over 50% of its coastal mangroves. They have been cleared mainly to make way for commercial shrimp and fish farms. The unique trees which live in salt water are valued for the ability to protect shorelines and are home to a diverse array of flora and fauna. 2010
