THE COVER
Ma'dan, or Marsh Arabs, fish in the Qurnah
marsh in southern Iraq on May 16, 2003. Such subsistence living provides a majority
of food sources for the region. Decades of damming and canal building under Saddam
Hussein's regime and in other parts of the Middle East have diminished the Iraqi
marshlands to 7 percent their original size. Read related stories on water resources and plans for restoring
the marshlands. Photo from AP/Wide World Photos.
