Rising Sea Levels Threaten Ayetoro, Nigeria
The coastal Nigerian community of Ayetoro, once known as “Happy City,” is facing extinction due to rising sea levels, with buildings sinking into the Atlantic Ocean. Residents are struggling to combat the threat as corruption and mismanagement hinder efforts to protect the shoreline. The community has lost nearly 60% of its land in the past three decades, with factors like oil drilling, deforestation, and erosion contributing to its disappearance.
