World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported11m ago
Indigenous Cabécar communities in Talamanca, within the Limón province of Costa Rica, are experiencing severe threats to their food security after floods and prolonged droughts destroyed their crops. In response to these agricultural losses, women within the communities have turned to seed bartering as a survival strategy.
Simultaneously, environmental organizations have called for broader structural actions regarding flood risks. SEO/BirdLife urged administrations in Madrid to implement urgent and structural measures to reduce flood risks and prevent future disasters as the DANA Adam system left at least four people dead.
