“It keeps eating at you, little by little”: a photo essay on drought experiences across Morocco's agro-pastoral landscapes

Acknowledgements

The authors thank all featured interviewees for sharing their time and stories with us. This essay collates their messages and individual drought accounts, which the authors aimed to present true to how they were told. Yet, the process of translating and editing the interviews could have introduced unintended changes in meaning. Responsibility for how participants' accounts are re-presented here, thus solely rest with us. The faces of all subjects in this photo essay have been blurred, to protect their rights in the commercial distribution of our work. The original (unblurred) images can be viewed on our research group's blog at: https://medium.com/@LKmoch/impressions-of-drought-in-morocco-f9f200854b12. Many thanks to Abderrahmane Sakouili of the University Hassan 1er and Oussama El Gharras of the National Institute for Agronomic Research (INRA), Settat, for facilitating and translating the first interview in Tamedroust.
