entry description
Relative to countries like China and the USA, islands like my home (Dominica) contribute nothing toward greenhouse emissions, but we are at the forefront of the Climate Change battle. Every year our chain of islands in the Caribbean is battered by tropical cyclones, and in 2017 we felt the harsh reality of one of the strongest hurricanes on record, Hurricane Maria. The storm caused widespread damage to homes and our food stock, and initiated the migration of between 15,000 to 20,000 people from our shores. By all accounts, we can expect to see many more strong hurricanes in the years to come.about the photographer
