Sangana Kingdom, nestled along the coast of Bayelsa State, in the south-south region of Nigeria, finds itself grappling with the relentless challenge of coastal erosion. The serene beauty of this coastal community is marred by the harsh impact of rising sea levels and unpredictable weather patterns, leading to a severe threat to the homes and livelihoods of its residents.

Families, who have called Sangana their home for generations, now find themselves on the front lines of a battle against the encroaching waters, desperately seeking solutions to preserve their way of life.
Local leaders, residents, and environmental activists join forces to explore sustainable strategies and raise awareness about the urgent need for support. Sangana Kingdom’s struggle becomes a poignant narrative, echoing the broader global conversation on the impacts of climate change on vulnerable communities.
