Sea Level Rise in India
Sovarani Koyal lives in Satjellia island and is one of the many people affected by sea level rise: "Nowadays, heavy floods are going on here. The water level is increasing and the temperature too. We cannot live here, the heat is becoming unbearable. We have received a plastic sheet and have covered our home with it. During the coming monsoon we shall wrap our bodies in the plastic to stay dry. We have only a few goats but we do not know where they are. We also have two children and we cannot manage to feed them.
