Colombian coastal villages, like Imbili, face increasing flooding and deforestation due to climate change. Community leaders stress the need for environmental protection that benefits residents. Efforts include reforestation and building protective barriers, but funding remains a challenge. Meanwhile, in nearby Bajito Vaqueria, initiatives are in place to stop illegal mangrove logging by offering economic alternatives. The community increasingly turns to cocoa farming, viewed as a sustainable solution, highlighting the intersection of environmental and economic challenges in combating climate impacts.
