巴拿馬因海平面上升而疏散民眾

Rising sea levels have caused Panama to evacuate people living on one of itsislands2. The people of the small Gardi Sugdub island off Panama’s Caribbeancoast3 are going to live on the mainland4. However， the Panamanian government5said some people are not leaving their home. They will stay until the last minute.

The government said Gardi Sugdub is a sign of things to come. More peopleon the islands are under threat6 from being sunk. A new study said Panama wouldlose 2.01% of its territory7 near the coast to rising sea levels. About 38，000people will need to leave at a cost of about $1.2 billion.

Gardi Sugdub has been home to the Guna people for generations. The smallisland is just 366 metres long and 137 metres wide， but was home to 300 families.They worked on fishing and tourism8 to make a living.

One of them， Nadin Morales， 24， said， “We’re a little sad... but the sea issinking the island little by little.”She added， “I’ve seen that climate change hashad a big impact9.... The water comes to a level it didn’t before.”Ms. Moraleshopes her community will develop well in its new location.

海平面上升導(dǎo)致巴拿馬疏散了該國其中一個島上的居民。巴拿馬加勒比海沿岸的加爾蒂·蘇格杜布小島上的居民將生活在巴拿馬大陸上。然而，巴拿馬政府表示，一些人不想離開他們的家，他們會一直待到最后一刻。

巴拿馬政府表示，加爾蒂·蘇格杜布是未來形勢發(fā)展的一個征兆。更多島嶼住民面臨被淹沒的威脅。一項新的研究稱，由于海平面上升，巴拿馬將失去2.01%的沿海領(lǐng)土。大約38，000 人需要搬離，費(fèi)用約為12 億美元。

加爾蒂·蘇格杜布是古納人世世代代的家園。這座小島只有366 米長，137米寬，但卻住著300 戶人家。他們靠捕魚和旅游業(yè)謀生。

24歲的納丁·莫拉萊斯是該島居民之一，她說：“我們有點難過……但海水正在一點點地淹沒這座島嶼。”她補(bǔ)充道，“我已經(jīng)看到氣候變化產(chǎn)生了巨大影響……水位達(dá)到了前所未有的高度。”莫拉萊斯女士希望她的社區(qū)在新址發(fā)展良好。
