Iran’s more than one million nomads have long resisted modernity through the isolation that comes with their lifestyle. Deep traditions and patriarchy also have kept change out. But the combination of persistent drought, dust storms that turn the skies orange, widespread urbanization, mobile internet, and the spread of higher education has made their numbers dwindle. The elderly couples still setting up their tents on the flanks of the Zagros admit that they might be the final chapter in the history of one of the largest remaining nomadic communities on Earth.

Today on Magnum, we share @newshatavakolian’s work documenting the environmental and societal challenges facing Iran's nomadic Bakhtiari community. Link in bio.

Dust storm in Khuzestan Province. During the storm the morning sky looks darker than night and starts to rain, which is called “The medicine after the death” by the local people. Khuzestan is facing serious drought. Many believe the dust is caused by drought and the lands becoming desert around the Iran-Iraq border.
