Madagascan river scene C013 / 7033
Madagascan river scene. People on the banks of the Mandrare River, south-eastern Madagascar. The Mandrare is a key water resource in a part of Madagascar which is dry for a large part of the year. The rainy season in Southern Madagascar lasts for less than two months. Here, people are bathing, washing clothes, and collecting drinking water. Some families trek 35 kilometres with Zebu-drawn carts (lower right) to collect water in large barrels

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Madagascan river scene, capturing the essence of life along the banks of the Mandrare River in south-eastern Madagascar. In this arid region, where rainfall is scarce for most of the year, the Mandrare River serves as a vital water resource for local communities. The image reveals a snapshot of daily activities as people gather on the riverbanks to bathe, wash clothes, and collect drinking water. The photograph offers an aerial view that highlights both human and animal presence. A group of individuals can be seen engaging in various tasks - men, women, and children going about their routines amidst muddy waters. Notably, some families undertake an arduous 35-kilometer journey with Zebu-drawn carts to fetch water stored in large barrels. This image not only portrays the resilience and resourcefulness of these indigenous Malagasy people but also sheds light on their unique lifestyle deeply intertwined with nature. It captures moments that reflect their culture and traditions while emphasizing their reliance on clean freshwater sources. Tony Camacho's remarkable photography allows us to witness this Madagascan river scene from above; it invites contemplation about our shared responsibility towards preserving precious environmental resources worldwide.
