Panamanian tribe to be relocated from coastal island due to climate change: "There's no other option"
Monday 24 Apr 23 10:30am

On the island, every square inch is occupied by about a thousand members of the Guna Yala tribe.

Generations ago, members of the tribe settled on the island to escape aggression from Spanish colonizers and the Panamanian government.
