Fuels monitoring assistant Emily McCrea, 23, watches over a prescribed burn by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Division of Fire just outside of Elmo, Mont., on Tuesday, October 24, 2017. McCrea was one of only two women working on the burn site that day. Tribes used prescribed burns long before European settlers arrived. Burns are made using a quilt technique that serves as a barrier preventing more intense fires from spreading. (Brittany Greeson/GroundTruth)

Father Florian gives an afternoon service in Illeret, Kenya. He took his vows at St. Ottilien Archabbey, where he adopted the Benedictines' unofficial motto, “Ora et Labora” — “Pray and Work.” This has become his mantra for his time with Kenya's ethnic Daasanach community, one of the smallest tribes in Kenya.

Most coastal towns along the Massachusetts South Shore have man-made sea walls in place to help protect the ocean front from storm surges. But recent storms have breached the seawalls and weakened them for future storms. (Lauren Owens Lambert/GroundTruth)
