For centuries, farmers in Algeria have been cultivating palm groves and fostering oases at the gateway to the Sahara. They continue to do so as droughts and pests become more frequent and difficult to control. Mr. Hamadi and his fellow farmers collaborate with scientists to find the right answers to climate change.

Assia is a graduate of the journalism training course "Photojournalism and Visual Storytelling" with trainer Sven Creutzmann, where the photo series was created.
