PROJECTS: The Hinterland: ZIKA during Carnaval

ZIKA during Carnaval
Brejo da Serra, Bahia. Wednesday, Feb. 10, 2016.
A dog walks past a puddle of blood from a slaughtered calf, in a Brejo. Brejos are microregions in the Sertao with humid (sandy) soil, normally used for agriculture, especially corn, feijão and sugarcane plantations. They are considered swampy areas.
Today, Brejo da Serra is loosing its humidity and its native plants, including the buritizais, an aquatic palm that helps retain water. The stems, leaves, and fruits are used by communities, such as heart of palm. Locals say that where you find a buriti, there is water but the brejo is dying and the plants are loosing their water.
