Climate Change and the Kuna
Sandy Hausman/World Vision Report
As the sea-level in the Caribbean rises, island dwellers like the Kuna people of Panama find their homes, schools and churches are often flooded, and some fear they will be forced to leave.
Description
Sea levels are rising around the world, flooding coastal communities, eroding beaches and forcing people from their homes.
Sandy Hausman visited a chain of islands off the coast of Panama, where about 50,000 people are preparing to abandon their homes, churches, schools — and a way of life they've enjoyed for centuries.
