A worker carries dried hides piled on his head. The skins of large cattle from the Hindu states of India are particularly valuable because they tend to have less scars and blemishes due to their holy status.
A worker closes a large barrel filled with hides and chemicals, used for the tanning process at a tannery in Hazaribagh, Dhaka.
In Hazaribagh, a part of western Dhaka reknowned for its tanneries, several workers scrape the chemicaly dissolved fatty layers from the hides with specially designed knives.
The remains of processed and colourfully dyed leather lie at the edge of the street in Hazaribagh, the quarter of Dhaka known for its tanneries.

Damaged eggs in crates lie on the floor of an egg production farm.
A hen stands with a gaping open mouth inside a battery cage as she pants in the summer heat on an Indian egg-production farm. Like all birds, hens do not sweat and must pant to cool down, and their open mouths are their natural response to feeling too warm. During the summer, the outside temperatures here routinely surpass 40°C.
The dead body of an egg-laying hen lies on the floor next to rows of stacked battery cages on an Indian egg production farm. During the summer, as the temperature routinely surpasses 40°C, hen deaths due to heat exhaustion are routine. Though the deaths increase a farm's mortality rate, it has little impact on these mid-size farms that contain 8,000 to 15,000 adult egg-laying hens.
Rows of egg-laying hens live in stacked battery cages on an Indian egg production farm. Porous gunny sack material covers the sides of their tin-roofed open-sided shed, but as the outside temperatures soar above 42°C, the shed's small overhead fans provide little relief from the heat. Hot air blows in through the shed's sides, adding to the hen's discomfort.
On an Indian egg production farm, the dead body of an egg-laying hen lies on the floor next to crates filled with eggs waiting to be loaded for transport. During the summer, as the temperature routinely surpasses 40°C, hen deaths due to heat exhaustion are routine.

As the outside temperature surpasses 40°C, hot afternoon sunshine spills through a section of broken roof, directly spotlighting a group of egg-laying hens confined inside battery cages.
Inside a shed containing live chicks on an Indian egg production farm, the bodies of several dead chicks lie laid out on a ledge. During the summer, temperatures here frequently surpass 40°C, and three to four chicks die from heat exhaustion daily.
Young chickens perch on a water dispenser inside a crowded shed on an Indian egg production farm. As the temperature rises in the summer months, frequently surpassing 40°C, the chicks crowd around the water dispensers. To drink, the chicks peck to apply pressure to a dispenser that discharges a few drops of water at a time.
