Geographical Magazine August 2022 Edizione posteriore

In this issue, a startling fact is reflected in several of our stories, that fact being the number of people forced to flee their homes passed 100 million in the past year, as reported by the United Nations Refugee Agency. However, with each of these stories, there is a sense of resilience. Our cover story this month is on page 26, in the Punjab region of India, crop failures and agricultural policies have led male farmers to commit suicide, leaving their female partners no choice but to manage everything and make the best of things. On page 34, Nick Redmayne returns to Syria, 11 years after the war, to see how it bares the devastating fallout and on page 42, we take a look at the people in Indonesia living in close proximity to active volcanoes. Plus all the usual Geographical segments.
