“The archipelago is a little world within itself,” Charles Darwin wrote in 1839. His five-week visit to the Galapagos and his subsequent writing "On the Origin of Species published in 1859, was a revolutionary explanation of how life on the planet developed. Tourists flock to the Galapagos to see blue-footed boobies, giant tortoises, and many other species which are unique to the islands. Scientists try to minimize the damage to the fragile ecosystem so that this "little world" exists for the next 160 years and beyond. #Galapagos, #Ecuador, 2017.

The town of Darra Adam Khel, located in the tribal area of northwest Pakistan in the province of Khyber Pakhtunktwa, has been famous for more than a century. It is known for its weapons makers, merchants and gunsmiths, and has thrived by selling everything from handmade replicates of automatic rifles, hand-grenades, guns, and virtually every other kind of weapon. It is estimated that about 75% of the population are involved in the arms trade. My friend, Bruce Duffy, tests an Kalashnikov AK-47, a Russian machine gun in the street. Darra, Pakistan, 1997.

A boy with his donkeys in Hajjah, #Yemen, 1997. For more than three years, Yemen has been locked in a civil war that has killed nearly 10,000 people and pushed millions to the brink of starvation. Thousands have been killed during the world's largest cholera epidemic, and the health care system has collapsed.

Bearing witness to the Holocaust, Grover Gauntt, Founding Teacher of the Zen peacemaker, meditates during an annual Buddhist-led retreat at the Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi death camp, where more than a million people, were brought in on this rail road track, and killed. Where does such evil come from? "it's in each of us," says Gauntt "Each of us has to face it, own it, deal with it." This year's observance falls amid an alarming increase in anti-Semitism. As the Second World War recedes in time, and the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles, it falls to us to be ever vigilant. We see intolerance entering mainstream politics -- targeting minorities, Muslims, migrants and refugees, and exploiting the anger and anxiety of a changing world. Now more than ever, let us unite in the fight for universal values and build a world of equality for all." United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres on Sunday's Holocaust Remembrance Day.

More than a hundred milliion pilgrims from around the world gather for the Kumbha Mela festival to bathe in the sacred confluence of three rivers. They believe that all of their sins will be forgiven, and it will help them attain "moksha", which will set them free from the cycle of birth and death. Mark Twain wrote, after visiting the Kumbh, "It is wonderful, the power of a faith like that, that can make multitudes upon multitudes of the old and weak and the young and frail enter without hesitation or complaint upon such incredible journeys and endure the resultant miseries without repining...." #Allahabad, now called #Prayagraj, #India, 2001.
