In Bangladesh a herd of water buffaloes takes refuge in a river seeking relief from the searing summer heat. With temperatures climbing across the region, farmers depend on natural water sources to safeguard their animals’ health. Scenes like this are familiar in rural Bangladesh, where buffaloes are vital for farming, milk production, and income. As climate change fuels more extreme heatwaves in South Asia, both livestock and those who depend on them face mounting risks.
