VOICED : Pueblos que se lleva el agua

The video discusses the severe impact of coastal erosion in Senegal, focusing on the village of Don Baba Dieye and the city of Saint Louis. Amet, a former village chief, describes how his home and village have been submerged. Saint Louis, a former French colonial capital, is also threatened by rising waters. The erosion endangers Senegal's economy and cultural heritage, as major cities and industries are coastal. Preventive measures, like building barriers, are being taken by some, such as a hotel owner who invested significantly to protect her property. The UN has declared Saint Louis as highly at risk due to sea level rise, with a large portion of its population living on the coast.
