  • Rising sea levels are threatening the homes of Panama's indigenous Guna people. But they have a plan to save their community, and way of life, from climate change.

    This is sad... Being panameian and american citizen makes me feel bad about these people forced to move... I know its better for them to be in a new community with enough infrastructure but this region has fight for independence and to preserver their ancient way of live and now they are facing the worst, even if they try to preserve their culture forcing them to move to mainland isn't the same as living in island communities... Thers are hundreds of islands surrounding this community with thousands of indigenous residents and most likely all them will have to do the same... This is Panama but this is happening around the globe and affecging the most vulnerable communities... We should stop fighting on how much federal budget we will assigned for climate change fight or how costly will be to use better and clean products that might help to reduce the global warming and do something about this... Our future as humans rely on what you will do today to help planet earth. G-d Bless America and Panama

    Hopefully the area they are moving to is a lot higher or it'll get flooded by rising sea water as well.

      @7 Points Entertainment Que ignorante, tienes que partir de que el modelo social, económico que nosotros utilizamos es diferente al de los pueblos originarios. Mientras que nosotros nos sometemos al modelo capitalista, ellos y sus antepasados vivían de y en la naturaleza. Quienes emigran a el area urbana tienen que a parte de adaptarse, tienen que esforzarse desde 0 a tratar de conseguir trabajo, vivienda digna, estudios y tantas otras cosas en condiciones de pobreza multidimensional que no conoces, porque tu y yo, así sea que seamos o no ricos estamos mejor adaptados al sistema económico, social, tecnológico, académico.

    So it’s because they wrecked their coral reef now there is erosion. Pretty plain. The solution as well btw, every fisherman brings rocks in stead of fish twice a week and those who don’t fish plant tree’s or get dirt from somewhere problem solved in a couple years

      Finally, someone who actually listened! Exactly right. They no longer have the natural barrier to keep flooding at bay due to it's destruction by the residents. Good to see someone paying attention

    They said at the start that these indigenous people emits the greenhouse gas least and suffers the most that suffering made them know how severe is the global warming and those American politicians lives in skyscrapers why would they care about global warming.

      At 3:10, a key factor is exposed. They've mined the reef for generations, which can no longer act as a barrier.

    Don't move the residents. Panama should cordone off the island and fill it up with dirt. Guyana built and island from scratch. Japan Kansai airport was built on a manmade island.

    I am realy love this video but I am very curious about the angle of this video. Yes indigenous people are being displaced but I am sure there are other people living on the island. in my opinion people who were born on there can be just as effected by the same problem. I am just curious on the decision to only focus on indigenous peoples and not everyone
