Save the Desert

Overview

Saving the desert from being watered (to grow cotton) with water containing pesticides and other chemicals and that end up killing sheep, camels and other animals of the desert. And yet, ‘Turkmen without the desert is dead,’ says a shepherd. The desert saved the Turkmen people who could hide in the desert from attacking tribes. Portraits of old men and the message that saving the desert is to save the nation.
