    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.
