Al Jazeera: The last five years have been tough on Tye Baker, the director of Water Resources for the Choctaw Tribe of Oklahoma.

Then came the flooding: torrents of rain, 30cm at a time, during the summer of 2015. Through it all, it has been up to Baker to ensure that the Choctaw people have clean, drinkable water...

Reuters: Indigenous people in Panama are using drones as a new weapon to monitor deforestation on their lands as thousands of hectares disappear every year in one of the world's most biodiverse rainforests, the United Nations said. More than half of Panama is covered with tropical rainforest, home to various indigenous groups who rely on the forests to survive.

Tribes have up close perspective on climate change
2016-04-24 01:11:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Seattle Times: QUINAULT tribal members can attest to the urgency of climate change from an up-close and personal perspective. Were being forced to relocate part of our village of Taholah on the Washington coast. Ocean encroachment, increasingly severe storm surges and flooding are forcing more than 1,000 of our people to permanently move to higher ground.
