A cowherd guides his cattle across the dry riverbed of the Jamuna River in Rajbari, Dhaka, Bangladesh, on February 22, 2025. The seasonal drying of the river exposes vast sandbars (chars), disrupting local livelihoods and forcing herders to travel long distances in search of water and grazing land. These shifting landscapes, shaped by monsoon floods and dry-season erosion, illustrate the fragile ecological balance in the Jamuna River basin. As climate variability intensifies, the region faces growing challenges in sustaining both human and animal populations.
