 | The Omo Valley, Ethiopia: The Omo Valley is the last refuge of original tribal culture that remains on the African continent. This is a portrait series encapsulating the major Omo tribes. The unique cultures of this remote valley are now in serious danger as the Ethiopian government has dammed the rivers feeding the Omo river and will reduce the rivers flow to one fifth of normal. This will remove the flood plain these tribes rely upon for agriculture and cattle. Experts predict major migration and inevitable cultural change as the tribes are forced to survive without access to the traditional waters of the Omo river.
