Gardi Sugdup
The indigenous inhabitants of the Panamanian island of Gardi Sugdup are moving to the coast. They can't fit in the small area anymore. But are they also climate refugees? The older people have a different mentality. They don't want to believe it. The 1,500 to 2,000 indigenous inhabitants of the tiny tropical island of Gardi Sugdub have nowhere to go. Their world measures 300 metres from west to east and less than 150 metres from north to south – an area the size of just six football fields, which is packed with houses, two school buildings, a medical post and small shops. The Caribbean Sea surrounds them.
