November 2024
The Gafsa Valley, in central Tunisia, was once dominated by fields of olive and pistachio plantations. Today, it’s better known as the location of the world’s fourth largest phosphate reserve. In our November cover story, environmental journalist Arianna Poletti documents the devastating impact that the phosphate-mining industry, which supports global food production, has had on Tunisian communities.
Also in the November issue: Geographer Alastair Bonnett reveals the maps that will change how you see the world; we take a look at the future of tourism and ask what needs to change; journalist Clément Girardot travels to Kazakhstan, where the world’s largest inland sea is shrinking; and one woman’s quest to photograph every species of penguin.
