Land Rover Pictorial: Life on the Frontier





I recently spent a week deep in the jungles of Nicaragua, in the heart of the Miskito tribal lands, it is a different Nicaragua than the one I have experienced before. This is the wild west, complete with Cowboys, Indians, and Outlaws. It is a beautiful place, but also a place of conflict.





Working with an NGO in this region requires building trust within the community, which the team at Harvest Initiative has done. I am excited to return again to do more work within the Miskito tribal lands next year, but until then here are photos from my visit to the area.
