Sea Level Rise in India
Nirapada Mondal, 52 year old, lives in Bali island in the Sundarbans and is one of the many people affected by sea level rise: "All my fish have died because of the salinity of the water. I took around 50 kilos of dead fish from my pond. I pumped out the contaminated water and now I have to wait for the monsoon to bring me fresh water to the tank. I have six people to feed. It will not be possible to cultivate anything here, so I am planning to go to Kolkata and work as for a construction company. To go to Kolkata I also have to spend a lot of money while I am there and that is a hard decision to take."

Climate Voices in Indian Sundarbans
The Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world, a particularly ecologically sensitive area. Scientists estimate that over 70,000 people will be displaced from the Sundarbans due to sea level rise by the year 2030.
