Hi Georgia,

This picture is very impactful -- whose homes were destroyed? whose heritage threatened? Climate change disproportionately impacts communities based on various factors such as location, socio-economic standing etc. It is important to give context when you share an image like this. For those of us elsewhere in the world, climate change can look very different, but illuminating the region specific impacts and the addressing communities' unique AND universal experiences of climate change will help us understand the very real impacts of environmental destruction.

A clear disaster that we see how the environment is going to stay worse and the bad impacts that we cause as the deforestation can be very bad for us in the future. Do you know if anyone died?
