A Mohana hunter holds a branch with a living bird tethered to the end, which he uses as a decoy to trap wild birds. The caught birds are either sold at the market or used as food for the family. The Mohana people once thrived on Lake Manchar in ’s Sindh province, but pollution and drought have caused the fragile ecosystem to collapse, along with their way of life.
