Photograph by Nichole Sobecki/VII. Portrait of Ahmed Hassan, an elder in Waaciye, Puntland, which faces increasing challenges with gully erosion, on May 17, 2016. Gully erosion can make large tracts of land impassable for nomads and their livestock, and with predicted climate change gullies may erode up to three times faster than normal.
