[Leica] IMGS: Sundarbans

[Tina Manley]

They do live right on the water but most of their houses are elevated
because it has always been flooded there during the monsoon season.
Transportation is most often by boat.  They have a lot more boats than
cars!  I'm also impressed with how much they are doing to fight climate
change - more than the USA right now!!

Thanks for looking.
