  • Chitrakoot, Uttar Pradesh, India: Dalit women come together for a conference led by the women's group Vanangana in Chitrakoot, Uttar Pradesh, India February 12, 2006.  Chitrakoot district has a high level of poverty, feudalism, violence. Some of the women are a part of a group that brought out a newspaper in the local dialect for a rural audience, and to create awareness. Khabar Lahariya, is a fortnightly rural newspaper produced by the group of seven, predominantly dalit and kol women. The publication began in May 2002 and presently has a print run of 1500.  In Chitrakoot district, as in other parts of India, mainstream newspapers do not reach large sections of the rural population nor do they meet their local news and information needs. Khabar Lahariya provides a mix of news, information and entertainment. Khabar Lahariya's hallmark is the local. Its strength is credible investigative reportage. It covers current political news, stories on the functioning of panchayats, the bureaucracy, schools, hospitals and reports atrocities on women and marginalized sections of society.(Photo by Ami Vitale)

  • Damiam Kailek, 24, who is going onthe Thelon expidition fishes together with elder Sam Boucher and Steve Ellis, (working to protect the Thelon as a national park) in their village of Lutsel Ke' (aka Snowdrift) July 21, 2011 in the Northwest Territories of Canada. This huge reach of untrammeled country, is partially the result of the creation of the Thelon Wildlife Sanctuary. There are few places left on the planet as untouched as this.

  • Women from the Dene' Band  collect blueberries in their village of Lutsel Ke' (aka Snowdrift) July 20, 2011 in the Northwest Territories of Canada. This huge reach of untrammeled country, this abundant wildlife, is partially the result of the creation of the Thelon Wildlife Sanctuary. Located equidistant from Hudson Bay and Great Slave Lake, the region now encompassed by the sanctuary was never permanently settled. Aboriginal peoples--Dene from the West and Inuit from the East--travelled it, hunting and searching for wood and fish, and white trappers sledded and canoed across it, building the occasional cabin. In 1927 the area was closed to both sport and subsistence hunting to protect dwindling numbers of muskox. The closure had far-reaching effects on all the region's wildlife: muskox recovered handsomely, and the Beverly caribou herd, which migrates across the sanctuary and is hunted far to the south, now numbers almost 300,000 animals; most importantly, a large enough block of country was set aside so that human-shy species such as grizzlies might have enough room to insure their long-term survival--measured neither in decades nor a century, but over five hundred to a thousand years. In addition, mineral exploration was kept out of the sanctuary, and, because of the region's great distance from air traffic centers, a small number of canoeists and anglers have come to run its rivers. There are few places left on the planet as untouched as this.
