National Geographic Travelさんのインスタグラム写真 - (National Geographic TravelInstagram)「Photo by @deeptiasthana Life in the Thar Desert tests the human instinct to survive. In this arid land in the northwestern part of India, where trees are sparse and the local population is aplenty, an expanse of undulating sand dunes scattered with saline lake beds stretches across 200,000 square kilometers in Rajasthan. The setting almost seems surreal. I navigated through the Great Indian Desert over the course of three weeks and learned about the way of life in the oasis. Thar is a major wool-producing region in India. To the shepherds here, cattle are equivalent to walking gold. But animal rearing is no longer a sustainable occupation, since fodder and water are scarce. This leaves locals torn between keeping their traditions alive and adapting to changing times.」8月31日 9時05分
