  • High in the Himalayan foothills, dawn arrives on a bitterly cold morning. A traveller has emerged from his rudimentary room on the left of this lodge in Nepal to stand outside staring at the spectacular landscape of snow-capped peaks in the distance. The wind is whipping snow and ice from the peaks of the Annapurna range and trekkers come from all over the world to sample the inner-peace to be discovered here in one of the most dramatic locations on the planet. Villages such as these partly-depend on the agriculture of rice-growing and also on the passing tourist trade. Western trekkers walk through these tiny communities on their way up the series of climbing trails of the Annapurna Conservation Sanctuary circuit, a sometimes rigorous walk from the low hills of Pokhara to the higher altitudes of Annapurna, the (26,000 feet (8,000 metre) peak.

  • As the community fill up their water butts and buckets, a young girl drinks fresh water from a cup supplied by a water tanker, provided by Thames Water during the southern England drought of 1989.

A hosepipe ban and in some areas, tap water failed too so tankers stationed in affected areas so locals could fill up for essential use. Tourism increased as people visited tourist areas e.g. beaches at the weekends and took holidays in the UK rather than travelling abroad for the sun

  • An aerial view of an unidentified island community seen from a regional aircraft passing overhead atolls and islands, a few miles to the north Malé, capital of the Indian Ocean Republic of the Maldives. We see the perfectly clear blue sea surrounding an island of white coral beach sand, a harbour, holiday apartments and importantly coastal defence barriers that may defend against rising sea levels as global warming makes sea level locations like this vulnerable to flooding. The Maldives comprise of twenty-six atolls, featuring 1,192 coral islands of which 80 are holiday resorts with 200 inhabited by indigenous communities.

  • Household refuse pollutes a coral beach on Meedu Island, an indigenous community in the Republic of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Packaging, foodstuffs and general waste has been tossed away on this otherwise beautiful place, north of the capital Male. Unfortunately, the practice of tossing away one's rubbish is a normal practice in this culture, the local people selfishly unconcerned about the future of their habitat and the health of their community. Only a few miles from Meedu are islands that serve as holiday resorts where families from Europe travel by air for the perffect vacation - unaware that fly-tipping is so widespread that it threatens this nation's worldwide status as a paradise on earth.

  • A woman and child walk past an agency's board listing details of local properties to rent in the village of Bairat, on the West Bank of Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. Local businesses like this are dependent of the tourism industry and therefore badly affected by the downturn. According to the country's Ministry of Tourism, European visitors to Egypt is down by up to 80% in 2016 from the suspension of flights after the downing of the Russian airliner in Oct 2015. Euro-tourism accounts for 27% of the total flow and in total, tourism accounts for 11.3% of Egypt's GDP so communities like this are suffering economically, as a result.

  • A local man carries electric cabling uphill on the Annapurna Sanctuary trekking route in central Nepal. With few roads that can transport supplies and raw materials up to remote foothill communities, the only way is often to carry what one needs on the back or by yak. The paths are even but often very steep in places so stamina and endurance are needed to get even modest weights uphill. Nepalis up here often want newer technology and basic electricity to power lights and showers although solar power is another answer.
