Mangroves and Humans – Winner. Honey Hunters by Muhammad Mostafigur Rahman, Bangladesh. Traditional honey collectors break a honeycomb to get honey in Sundarbans, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a wildlife sanctuary in Bangladesh. As they move about in search of beehives in the wild, honey collectors run the risk of meeting a deadly foe – the Royal Bengal tiger. Both recent human development in the area and the climate crisis, in particular the rise in sea-levels, are threatening the ecology of the Sundarbans and with it, the way of life of the Moulis people.
