ABOUT

Losing Garden of Eden - a multimedia project about Turkana and Climate Change directed by the award-winning photographer Manoocher Deghati - produced by Cultural Video Foundation.
Turkana, this region is considered the cradle of humankind, once the Garden of Eden, the paradise. Now the inhabitants are facing climate change: droughts, shrinking water levels and subsequent tribal wars. An upcoming hydroelectric power plant project on the Omo River, the only permanent tributary to Lake Turkana, is now seriously threatening life in and around the lake.
