A farmer displays his morning catch of rats in the remote indigenous Miskito village, Krin Krin, Nicaragua, located on the Rio Coco. Villagers struggle to survive after a fire last year destroyed the population of snakes, leaving this year’s crop to be destroyed by an infestation of rats. Villagers trapped 1,500 rats in one day. Most rice and bean crops are eaten before they can be harvested. Because the town is so isolated and most people do not use currency, residents are unable to purchase food to make up for crop loss.
