Yusuf Shabani Difika lost both his arms in a lion attack during a fishing trip near Selous National Park. In this photograph, a relative helps him wash in the Rufiji River.
Villages bordering the park are not separated by fences, and lions regularly roam beyond its boundaries.
Many of these communities live alongside wildlife without directly benefiting from the park's tourism or conservation economy.

Werner Bischof is widely regarded as one of the defining figures of twentieth-century photography. Born in Zurich in 1916, he initially trained in commercial and studio photography before turning to documentary work in the aftermath of the Second World War. In 1949, he became a full member of Magnum Photos, where he worked alongside photographers including Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, David Seymour and George Rodger.
During the early 1950s, Bischof traveled extensively across Europe, Asia and the Americas, producing reportages on post-war reconstruction, cultural traditions and everyday life. His work was published internationally through Magnum Photos and in leading illustrated magazines, reaching audiences around the world.
Between 1951 and 1954, his assignments took him to countries including India, Japan, Indochina and Peru. The photographs made during these journeys became an important part of his archive and continue to be preserved in museum collections, exhibitions and publications dedicated to his work.
In 1954, he traveled through Mexico and Panama, and then on to a remote part of Peru, where he was engaged in making a film. On May 16 Bischof died in a road accident in the Andes at the age of 38, only nine days before Magnum founder Robert Capa lost his life in Indochina.
His legacy is currently being celebrated in the exhibition Werner Bischof: Point of View at the Museo Diocesano Carlo Maria Martini in Milan, where around 200 photographs, contact sheets and archival documents offer one of the most comprehensive retrospectives of his work in recent years.
In Central Havana, a schoolboy walks past a street filled with piles of uncollected garbage, some of it still burning along the curb. With fuel shortages crippling municipal services, trash collection has become increasingly irregular, leaving waste to accumulate in residential neighborhoods.
Residents have begun setting fire to the piles, sending smoke through the streets and exposing children and families to hazardous air as they go about their daily routines
The picture of " Heroic Beauty ” :
Second Lieutenant Walter Sidlowski kneels over the blanket covered body of an American soldier he had just helped rescue from the surf off Omaha Beach.
Exhausted, Sidlowski appears motionless. His dripping wet uniform hugged by an inflated life belt, his face tortured and staring as though he is looking at someone but can’t find the words to speak.
Behind him the scene carries on, other men work to treat those that were saved while waves churn the waters of the English Channel beneath a vast invasion armada. Yet Sidlowski is still

From the Book " Street Cops " :
Two men got together and nearly beat each other to death.
They used iron pipes, and they hit each other so hard that one of the pipes bent.
When we got there, the loser was a mess.
The winner kept pulling his limp body and rocking him, shaking him, in his arms.
Over and over he cried, " Hermano, no mueras. Mi Hermano. Hey brother, hey man. Don't die. Come on, man "
Mi Hermano Brotherly Love.
He asked for a cigarette and said they were brothers-in-law.
He didn't say what they were fighting about.
I don't think he remembered.
An ambulance came.
It took one, we took the other

Protesters behind barricades during the Euromaidan demonstrations :
Euromaidan was a wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Ukraine, which began on 21 November 2013 with large protests in Maidan Nezalezhnosti ( Independence Square ) in Kyiv.
The protests were sparked by President Viktor Yanukovych's sudden decision not to sign the European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement, instead choosing closer ties to Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union.
Ukraine's parliament had overwhelmingly approved of finalising the Agreement with the EU, but Russia had put pressure on Ukraine to reject it. The scope of the protests widened, with calls for the resignation of Yanukovych and the Azarov government. Protesters opposed what they saw as widespread government corruption, abuse of power, human rights violations, and the influence of oligarchs.
Transparency International named Yanukovych as the top example of corruption in the world. The violent dispersal of protesters on 30 November caused further anger. Euromaidan was the largest democratic mass movement in Europe since 1989 and led to the 2014 Revolution of Dignity.
108 civilian protesters and 13 police officers lost their lives during the demonstrations
