  • Thousands of people descend on Beijing's parks in the spring to witness the ever popular annual cherry blossoms. Wreaths of flowers adorn the heads of those gathered under the trees, as they try to catch sight of the ephemeral blooms and the inevitable falling of the leaves. Wreaths of flowers worn on the head is a tradition that dates back over 2000 years in human history. Early uses date back to ancient Greece and Rome when they were used at celebrations, often indicating a person's heirarchical status in society. Are these modern wreaths a sign of reverence for nature, or simply a prop for the perfect selfie? Cherry blossom blooms around the world have been appearing earlier than expected and in neighbouring Japan they have witnessed the earliest bloom in 1,200 years. This has lead scientists to speculate a warming climate is beginning to significantly change the timings in the cherry blossom's life cycle. Early blooms may be a new 'canary in the coal mine' for our rapidly changing climate. - APRIL, 2021

  • A masked man stands on a seawall in the port city of Tianjin, in north-east China. Much of the port has been built on reclaimed land and now serves as one of China's busiest maritime hubs. According to an article in the South China Morning Post, "Artificial seawalls now stretch along some 60 per cent of the mainland's coastline...destroying or severely disrupting the natural function of lush wetland, much of which is earmarked for reclamation. This increases pollution that threatens water bird populations, degrades inshore and oceanic environments, and leaves coastal populations more vulnerable to extreme weather events such as typhoons." As sea levels are predicted to rise in northern China, sea walls will be the first line of defence for the people in Tianjin, however severe storm surges have the potential to threaten these defences. Behind the sea walls, land subsidence in areas of the city is also adding to the threat of flooding, leading experts to warn of lingering dangers to the city's 11,000,000 residents.

  • Dencus Tanalua, 24, a carpenter, stands near the shoreline in central Funafuti, the capital of the small Pacific nation of Tuvalu. Land poor micro-states in the region are some of the most vulnerable to climate change impacts. This has driven many to flee their homelands, in fear of the potential environmental catastophes their countries are vulnerable to, and also in search of higher incomes through better job opportunities provided by other larger countries. It is estimated nearly 20% of Tuvalu's population have left and reside in other countries such as New Zealand and Australia. Young adults are the most likely to leave, with the older generation most likely to stay. A recent report by The Australian National University estimates by 2050, "47% of Tuvaluan adults (4,900 people)...will want to migrate but [will] be unable to do so", with limiting factors being financial and available places on migration programs to other countries. Funafuti, Tuvalu. March, 2019.

  • A young boy carries a bucket full of cut sugar cane in a cattle camp near the town of Latur. Sugar cane has been blamed by many for being one of the factors contributing to drought conditions in the region as it requires high amounts of water during its growth. Failed rains have left farmers unable to grow this profitable crop, leaving many in financial trouble

  • MONGOLIA. Ulaan Baatar. 6-year year old Huyga, sleeping soundly, alone in the darkness whilst his parents and grandfather go out and search the street for bottles. Leaving their child is an obvious risk, especially as rumours abound about homeless children being abducted from the street in recent years. As the global financial crisis grips Asia, Mongolia is feeling the implications first hand as the country suffers from rising inflation pushing the price of food and fuel ever upwards. For the country’s homeless, who live in sewers and abandoned garages in the capital and already face extreme discrimination and are denied access to basic health and social care, their lives are hanging in the balance. 2008

  • Aloito Vaivasa, 26, a fisherman, stands near the shoreline in central Funafuti, the capital of the small Pacific nation of Tuvalu. Land poor micro-states in the region are some of the most vulnerable to climate change impacts. This has driven many to flee their homelands, in fear of the potential environmental catastophes their countries are vulnerable to, and also in search of higher incomes through better job opportunities provided by other larger countries. It is estimated nearly 20% of Tuvalu's population have left and reside in other countries such as New Zealand and Australia. Young adults are the most likely to leave, with the older generation most likely to stay. A recent report by The Australian National University estimates by 2050, "47% of Tuvaluan adults (4,900 people)...will want to migrate but [will] be unable to do so", with limiting factors being financial and available places on migration programs to other countries.
