Despite medical advances, the U.S. is one of only two developed countries where the rate of women who die from pregnancy is not falling. Black mothers are particularly at risk. Better basic care could help, as it has in the developing world. This short documentary tells the story of just one of the hundreds of mothers Mamatoto Village, a maternity-support organization in Washington, D.C., has served.

The noodles are made by combining buckwheat flour and water. The dough is kneaded, rolled out, and cut evenly into thin noodles, similar in thickness to spaghetti.
Gaining popularity in the 1600s during Japan's Edo period, the eating of soba noodles grew due to their health benefits and ability to prevent beriberi, a disease caused by thiamine (vitamin B-1) deficiency. Today, you can find soba noodles in restaurants around the world, served chilled with dipping sauce (zaru soba) or in a warm broth (bukkake soba).

During whaling season, crew members spend their days watching the icy Arctic water for the right moment to strike. It will take courage and skill to achieve their mission, and they must avoid desperately hungry polar bears along the way. But in the long moments they stand on the ice, protected from the wind inside a fur-lined parka, a timeless gratitude develops. In those moments, the patient act of waiting transforms into a prayer for the whale. Anaiyyun: Prayer for the Whale, from filmmaker Kiliii Yüyan, tells the story of an Inupiat whaling crew that hunts where the vast plain of ice meets the waters of the Arctic Ocean.

Photo by @thomaspeschak | What was supposed to be a easy photograph turned out to be one of the hardest shots. The “classic” fish-in-a-puffin’s-beak image eluded me for almost a month, until I visited a puffin colony just north of the Arctic Circle. The North Atlantic began to warm dramatically in the late 1990s, and in some places sea temperatures have increased by as much as two degrees Celsius. Some of the puffin’s favorite prey, including sand eels, prefer colder water and have shifted their range further to the north. Now out of reach of many of the region’s largest Atlantic puffin colonies, this lack of fish often results in chicks starving to death before the parents can return to the burrow with food. Fortunately, the youngster provisioned by the puffin in this photograph has a better chance of survival.

Her blood pressure was extremely high. Yousuf was treated by student midwife Farduus Mubarak, 22, under the watchful eye of the hospital’s founder, Edna Adan Ismail, 81. During my career as a photojournalist I have documented maternal mortality across the developing world but for my most recent @natgeo story, ‘Giving Life Can Still Be Deadly,’ I spent several months focusing on this issue at home in the U.S. and in Somaliland.

Photo by @jasperdoest | Two king penguins overlooking Salisbury Plain in South Georgia. Salisbury Plain is a broad coastal plain found with the Bay of Isles on the north coast of South Georgia. It lies protected between the mouths of Grace and Lucas glaciers. It is best known as the breeding site for as many as 100,000 breeding pairs of king penguins. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the king penguin was ruthlessly hunted for oil, blubber, eggs, and skins. Owing to its gregarious nature at breeding colonies, the king penguin was an extremely easy target for hunters, with the result that some colonies were completely exterminated. Fortunately, following the banning of commercial hunting, the king penguin population has rebounded, and most breeding locations are once again home to large, secure colonies.

Photo by @stephenwilkes | A lone rhino ambles through this painterly scene in the Ngorongoro Crater. This three million year old crater was once a volcano, said to be similar in height to Mount Kilimanjaro before its eruption. It now exists as a natural enclosure for approximately 25,000 animals, allowing photographers and scientists alike to get a closer look at many endangered species who reside here.

Photo by @stevewinterphoto | Circle of protection: Cheetah cubs getting as close to mom as possible—so they feel safe. The cheetah is the fastest land animal on Earth and Africa’s most endangered cat. Cheetahs purr like house cats, which is one reason they are under threat, as the cubs are either captured or raised in captivity to be sold as pets to the very wealthy, though only one in six survive the journey to their new prison.
As with all big cats, the number one reason for their decline is habitat loss, then comes human-wildlife conflict, where livestock owners kill predators in revenge killings if the predator kills their livestock. Finally comes the illegal wildlife trade; the pet trade is hitting cheetahs hard as is the trade in their skins and bones.
This is a similar emotion that we as humans feel. Our animal family is so much like us—they find mates, they have offspring, they have to feed themselves and their families. @wildaid @thephotosociety @africanparksnetwork

Photo by @coryrichards | Seemingly endless glacial ice, thousands of years old, dunes of wind-sculpted snow and temperatures well below freezing...the untouched wilderness of Antartica seems to stretch on forever. Taken on assignment for a @NatGeo story on #UntamedAntartica in 2013. #antarctica #climbing #adventure #natgeo

I believe there is nothing impossible when you work hard.” This is what 14-year-old Liyana from Jordan dreams of. Liyana suffers from ovarian germ cell tumors, and since July she's been a patient at King Hussein Cancer Center @khcfkhcc, the largest community-based organization in Jordan.

Photo by Stephanie Sinclair @stephsinclairpix | @tooyoungtowed. The United Nations has called the war in Yemen the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, and a recent UN report estimated that more than two-thirds of Yemeni girls are now being married off before 18, compared to 50 percent before the start of the conflict. When a child becomes a bride, she loses the chance to go to school, the right to make decisions about her health, and the ability to determine her future. In 2011 @natgeo published my story, titled @tooyoungtowed; I’ve since created a nonprofit organization of the same name to #empowergirls and #endchildmarriage. In partnership with @solidariosinfronteras, we are now providing 25,000 breakfasts to schoolgirls in war-torn Yemen as an incentive for parents to keep girls in school, when a looming famine makes child marriage an increasingly attractive option to families desperate for one less mouth to feed.

Photo by @lynseyaddario | A mother of seven, Ayesha Ciisa, 33, arrived at Borama Regional Hospital in Somaliland near death after delivering one of two twins at home. She came to the hospital by auto-rickshaw when the second baby could not be delivered in her village. Despite Ciisa’s severe bleeding, doctors were able to save her with a transfusion. During my career as a photojournalist I have documented maternal mortality across the developing world, but for my most recent @natgeo story, Giving Life Can Still Be Deadly, I spent several months focusing on this issue at home in the U.S. and in Somaliland. The U.S. is one of only two developed countries where the rate of women dying from pregnancy has gotten worse since 1990. The rate of maternal deaths remains stubbornly high in the United States: about 14 deaths for every 100,000 live births. Black mothers are particularly at risk. Better basic care could help, as it has in the developing world.
