  • After Cyclone Aila struck the Sundarbans in 2009, locals still struggle with logged salt water that renders fertile farming land almost unusable on Gosaba island, Sundarban, West Bengal, India, on 18th January, 2012. Due to this loss of livelihood, many have had to turn to fishing or wild honey gathering in the forest reserve, exposing themselves to becoming prey for the sanctuary's booming tiger population.

  • Tiger attack survivor Tarubala Mandol, 30, walks out of her home on Gosaba island, Sundarban, West Bengal, India, on 18th January, 2012. 1.5 years ago, she was pounced on at dawn by a waiting tiger outside her home. She survived as the tiger was chased away and tranquilized when it hid in the forest goddess Bono Debi/Bono Bibi temple nearby. Tigers have been known to swim, sometimes underwater, to the village to hunt humans. A successful Royal Bengal tiger breeding program has increased their numbers but decreased the number of husbands.
