Refugiados Climaticos

Reportagem Coletivo Argos

Segundo a ONU, até 2050 cerca de 150 milhões de pessoas podem ser obrigadas a se deslocar por conta de mudanças climáticas. Desde 2004, os fotógrafos do coletivo francês Argos buscam as primeiras vítimas desse fenômeno para dar rostos. à essa problemática. O resultado são reportagens visionárias preparadas com engajamento de longo prazo.
Os objetivos dos trabalhos são dar voz àqueles que já sofrem as consequências dessas mudanças, iniciar um debate sobre soluções e alertar para a urgência da situação dessas populações que são ameaçadas pela elevação do nível das águas, o avanço do deserto, a intensificação dos furacões ou o derretimento das geleiras.

Nearly 60% of Maldivians are less than 15 years old. During their lifetime they will probably see the first exiles leave the island due to sea-level rise and erosion.

There are 2,000 islands in the Maldives archipelago, of which only 200 are inhabited. Far from the capital, Male, and its protective sea walls, they are threatened by the rising sea levels and related erosion. The people from these islands will be the first climate refugees of the Maldives.

The Maldives has always experienced erosion of its beaches depending the type of ocean currents, tides and seasons. However for a number of years now the erosion has been accelerating and some beaches are not recovering their sands.

Fishing is the second largest industry in the Maldives. It is still practiced with traditional methods to protect the resources of the country. But the health of the fish depends on the coral which is threatened by global warming.

To avoid endangering the stocks, tuna fishing is strictly regulated in the Maldives. Nets are not allowed. Only the traditional fishing rod is authorized. It?s a spectacular form of fishing that requires intense energy from the men in order to fill the hold of their <i>dhoni</i> and sell their catch on the market in Male.

In January 2007, abnormal heavy rains fell on the Maldives, in the middle of the dry season. Dengue, which ordinarily appears in June and July, broke out. And for the first time, the Chikungunya virus also appeared. The already saturated ground was unable to absorb the rains. The resulting puddles were a breeding ground for the mosquitoes.

Erosion is a natural phenomenon in the Maldives, the result of the ocean currents that scour away at the islands. But it is compensated for by an equivalent phenomenon of accretion. When a beach disappears on one side, it reappears on the other... and conversely, when the current changes direction with the seasons. But that natural balance has now been upset, and erosion is winning out over accretion. The problem is the poor health of the coral.

Afzan is 13. He lives in Thudi, on the island of Gan, in the southern Maldives. He lives with his mother and his seven brothers and sisters. His mother, Aminath, works as a cleaning attendant at the hospital in Thudi. In the afternoon, Afzan sometimes helps her gather cowries, the little shells that once served as money. It takes Aminath several hours to collect one kilogram, which she will sell for one euro to a middleman. In Male, the capital of the Maldives, a kilo of cowries sells for 100 euros to tourists.

Hurricane Katrina, st bernard's parish, september 2005.Em 29 de agosto de 2005, o furacão Katrina devastou New Orleans. Nos dias seguintes, mais de dois terços de seus habitantes deixam a cidade em condições desumanas. Eles estão espalhados em todos os E.U.A e particularmente em Houston, onde mais de cem mil deles ainda estão instalados. E onde provavelmente ficarão. A incrível capacidade da cidade de Houston em absorver essa migração em massa e imprevista, tem mascarado um fato surpreendente: esses novo-texanos que choram a sua cidade perdida são provavelmente os primeiros refugiados climáticos do continente norte-americano.
