Climate Change has Forced Vilasinee to Stop Fishing: ‘Changed our way of Life’

Vilasinee Klatalay hör till Moken-folket i Thailand. Tidigare bodde de i båtar på havet och flyttade mellan öarna. Men så ser det inte längre ut.
‘When I was young, the water was clear and clean,’ they say.
‘There were lots of coral reefs and many different kinds of fish.’
Today, they have stopped fishing and make a living by selling handicrafts made from plastic they have found in the sea, to tourists.

This report is part of the documentary ‘Voices of our Ocean’, which is being shown in connection with the UN’s ongoing climate summit in Brazil. In their own words and with selected images, they talk about their relationship with the sea, the urgent need to protect it and how climate change is affecting and transforming their lives. Hear each of them share their story.
