In the years to follow after its independence in 1971 the country has been plagued by images of poverty, famine and political corruption and the treasures had fallen in midst of the negative media.

With the forever growing threat of climate change, Bangladesh will be one of the first countries to suffer in an apocalyptic scale. Sign’s of increased flooding and hurricanes are already making life difficult for people to live in. So what does this mean to the future generation that will be left there?

Abid is 9 years old. He and his family lives in a small village the north east of Bangladesh. His father works in agriculture and like any father wish to see their children grow up and have a good future. But in these current times like any other person in Abid’s fathers generation, want to see their children in a richer country in hope they will get work and send money home.

As any other Child, Abid has his own inspirations of what he wants to become when he’s older. “I would love to be A Doctor,” he says with huge enthusiasm and a cheeky grin. A respectable profession that most parents would be glad to support. But by the time that he reaches adulthood, he will most likely see his country under water along with his dreams of becoming a doctor. And it’s the same story throughout the whole country. As the weather conditions affect different parts of the country vary from bad to worse, some if not most will not even have a future.

We all know the intimate detail that science plagues us with from the tabloids to the TV screen about climate change. But we’re less aware of how soon it will affect countries like Bangladesh and what the world has to lose. With so much more to discover, what these pictures reveal is a fraction of the life, and the hidden gems that the country has to offer.
