Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #1042 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY May 26, 2026: ‘THE CANVAS OF BENGAL’ by ZUMA Press award winning photo-journalist Muhammad Amdad Hossain: Bangladesh is a densely populated South Asian nation of over 170 million people. Its vibrant, resilient society is deeply rooted in ancient Bengali heritage. However, the country’s flat, riverine geography makes it a global epicenter for climate vulnerability, constantly grappling with monsoon floods, cyclones, and rising sea levels. Bangladesh from above reveals a breathtaking network of rivers, vibrant green deltas, and dense megacities. With two-thirds of the country resting less than 5 meters above sea level, its low-lying terrain is a dynamic tapestry of flooded rice paddies, mangrove forests, and intersecting waterways. By mid century, Bangladesh will lose 17 percent of its territory due to rising sea levels, resulting in the loss one third of the country’s agricultural land. By 2050, the World Bank predicts there may be as many as 19.9 million internal Bangladeshi climate migrants. Welcome to ‘THE CANVAS OF BENGAL’
