“I was passing through Seine Bight village [Belize] this morning, and I saw this dog and had to stop. This whole community is in a precarious position – less than a meter above sea level in many places. In the last 4 years the tourist trade has been hurt badly by the unprecedented huge rafts of sargassum seaweed washing up on the beaches and rotting, as well as algae blooms which make fishing and diving impossible. This photo was taken in late November, this year with record rains and flooding that has damaged houses and crops all over the country. This dog has figured out how to escape the flood; will these coastal communities show a similar kind of resilience?”
