Photos by Sara Hylton @sarahyltonphoto | Sita Ram Sahni (seated), 70, and his nephew Vinod Sahni, 50, at their home on the north bank of the Ganges River in Bihar, India. The Sahni family has fished the Ganges for more than 50 years. Their nets, once made of cotton, are now made of nylon, a kind of plastic. Net usage varies by location, but once the material starts to break down, it's usually cheaper to buy a new one. The old nets are often disposed of along the river, breaking down further in the water and threatening the species that inhabit it.
This image was made as part of a story covering a female-led expedition to study plastic along the length of the Ganges River. By sampling land, water, and air, the team set out to understand how and why plastics—and what types—were getting into the river and eventually into the Indian Ocean. The team found that these fishing nets were a significant source of plastic in the river.

About 66% of Myanmar's people have access to electricity, the vast majority in cities. Of the 68,000 rural villages in the country, just 3,000 or so have any sort of access to power.
