Abu Mari, a Syrian Bedouin livestock farmer who raises camels, goats, and sheep, tends his flock in the village of Ghezlaniah, in the countryside of the Badia region southeast of Syria's capital Damascus on April 20, 2021. - The Badia, a desert and steppe region which runs from the countryside around Syria's capital Damascus to the border with Iraq, was once a popular stretch of rangelands. But the decade-long conflict has turned it into a no-go zone, denying livestock farmers their main source of grazing. The region used to supply 70 percent of feed for livestock across the country before the war according to Syria's agriculture ministry. Now it is a hideout for IS jihadists who use it as a launching pad for their attacks, despite losing their last patch of territory in the country in 2019. (Photo by LOUAI BESHARA / AFP)
