This boy and his father, Abdul, make their living ferrying people across the Oti River in Togo to farms, many of which lie within the Kéran National Park. The expansion of the park’s boundaries has been a contentious issue with locals who oppose the government’s restrictions on fishing, farming, hunting and tree cutting (for charcoal) within the park’s boundaries. In November 2015, people were killed in riotous protests against the government.
