Abandoned Home on Hemnagar Island
This home on Hemnagar Island was abandoned only a year ago due to rising sea levels. Villagers on the Sundarbans have always had to face abandoning their homes every few years because of the Delta formation. However, in recent years the situation is becoming exacerbated due to rising sea levels caused by climate change.

Sea Level Rise in the Sundarbans
The Rainbow Warrior is currently docked at the Sundarbans river delta region, an area which is particularly ecologically sensitive. The crew plant mangroves with the local people. These will help to protect the coast from erosion and will also provide nutrients for fish and capture carbon in their environment.
