The indigenous Gunas of Gardi Sugdub had been preparing to move from their small island off the coast of Panama as their population grew, but hotter summers and fiercer storms quickened the evacuation.

This island village is the first of Panama’s 63 island villages expected to relocate due to rising sea levels in the coming decades. Generations have adapted their lifestyles to the ocean, but now the village is relocating into a housing community built by the government on the mainland.
