Climate change related sea level increases have caused more than 100 families from the villages of Satabhaya and Kanhupur to seek shelter further inland. The waters are estimated to have advanced at least 30 feet into Kanhupur village this year alone and have flooded homes, agricultural lands, a primary school, and two wells used by local residents. In Satabhaya, an 800-year-old temple that stood two kilometers from the sea 10 years ago, now stands in water at high tide.

We send our prayers for the protection and safety of the affected Indian villagers. May we all immediately adopt sustainable living practices for the benefit of our lives and those of our brethren.
