A buffalo herd crosses a dry riverbed near the Jamuna River in Gaibandha, Bangladesh on December 15, 2024. Dried waterways and shifting sandbars (chars) disrupt navigation and force herds to travel far for water. These unstable sand formations, deposited and eroded seasonally, highlight the fragile balance of life along the Jamuna River basin.
