Bangladesh: Climate Change: Tiger Widows: SUNDARBANS07

Figoja Begum is photographed outside her home. Firoja's husband, Sheik Mujiber Rahaman, went honey hunting with four other people. As soon as they found the honey comb in the jungle the tiger jumped on the back of his neck and he died on the spot. The other men ran to the boat as the tiger was dragging the body away. When Firoja heard the news she fell to the floor crying and lost her mind with grief. Since the attack she is aloof and refuses to talk to anyone about what happened. Her neighbors say that she is half mad.
