July 2023
In the July issue of Geographical, we look a little deeper into the complexities of some of the problems we face across the globe, beginning with the work of Peter Caton, an irregular contributor to the magazine for more than a decade, who has dedicated his life to documenting the hardships faced by people suffering humanitarian disasters. His photography sheds light on some of the darkest stories from all around the world, from Brazil and Bangladesh to Somalia and Mozambique – including our recent feature on the floods in South Sudan.
We also take a look at the crisis facing England’s rivers and coastal waters and how they came to be in such a sorry state – Mark Rowe reveals there’s more to the problem than unaccountable water companies in his investigative feature – Jo Caird finds out more about the headline-grabbing conflicts over the value of urban trees, and Jules Stewart discovers a heated debate taking place over the best way to map the world’s biggest underground train system.
