    Caiapo tribe members sit on a curb at the Kari-Oca village, where indigenous people from around the world are staying during Rio+20, in Rio de Janeiro.

    The United Nations' Rio+20 conference is expected to draw some 50,000 participants including delegates, environmental activists, business leaders and indigenous groups from around the world.

    The event, the UN's largest, runs through June 22 in Rio de Janerio, with three final days of high-profile talks among some 130 top leaders from nations around the globe.

    Roma children gather in a nomadic gypsy camp near Bucharest, Romania.

    Fewer and fewer nomadic gypsies still wander the roads of Romania as people have stopped buying their traditional hand-made pans and buckets. Most Romas abandoned the gypsy way of life and left to work in western Europe or switched to collecting scrap metal in Romania.
