This photo taken on October 17, 2023 shows women working on a floating farm on Inle Lake in southern Shan State. Floating farms have become as ubiquitous on Myanmar's Inle Lake as its famed houses on stilts and leg-rowing fishermen, but locals warn they are slowly choking the UNESCO-recognised reserve. The ever-expanding farms are eating up surface area, sending chemical runoff into the waters, and clogging the picturesque site with discarded plant matter, opponents say.
