El Salvador’s climate leaves crab fishing high and dry
If you think climate change will only be a problem in the distant future, just take a look at Central America: people there are having to deal with its effects on a daily basis. Temperatures have risen across the board, but the increasingly extreme highs are posing an acute threat. A report from Panama and El Salvador on the eve of the Copenhagen climate conference.
By Cor Doeswijk and Thijs Westerbeek van Eerten
The effects of climate change in Panama and El Salvador are disastrous. Harvests are failing because of too much and sometimes too little water. The seasons are becoming so mixed up that farmers no longer know when to sow their seeds or plough and fertilise their land. Populated coastal islands are facing floods. The climate is simply no longer to be trusted.
Miguel Ramos, who lives in central El Salvador, says the climate used to be predictable. Over the last 20 years, however, it has become dangerously capricious.
“Nowadays, you can have not only one but even two dry periods in the middle of the rainy season. That means we’ve got to sow seed more than once to be sure we’ll have enough to eat. Seed sown in fields high up dries out, while lower down the water rots it. Cattle are also dying from hunger, thirst or simply from the heat. You can see the cows looking for shade as early as 10 o’clock, if they can find trees that is, because lots of them have disappeared.”
Mr Ramos says people have also been hit. He and his family used to work from 6 am and stop at 3 or 4 pm because of the heat. Now, to get something done, people begin at 5 am and have to stop at 10 am because the sun is just too fierce.
Mangrove
Flor Rivera can also no longer depend on the climate. She lives by the Pacific coast in El Salvador and has problems with both drought and flooding.
“My husband fishes for crab in the mangrove swamps but catches are down because the mangrove is shrinking. This is being caused by rising sea levels which push the salt water further inland.”
Mrs Rivera is trying to keep ahead of problems by finding a different way to produce food for her family.
“To make ends meet, we’re growing a bit of maize and beans on our own land and on some ground we’ve rented. But, last year, we lost everything to floods and, this year, it’s been so dry that almost nothing will grow. That means we’ll go hungry.”
Moving away
Gilberto Arias is one of the six 'caciques' (chiefs) of Kuna Yala, an autonomous region for the indigenous Kuna people which lies along Panama’s Caribbean coast. Most of the Kuna community live on low-lying islands and depend for their livelihood on fishing and tourism. Over recent years, the islands have been flooded a number of times by high seas. This meant there was no more dry wood with which to cook food. Many people want to move to the mainland but that will mean the end of centuries-old traditions.
Chief Arias wanted to explain what was happening and talked to the reporter through an interpreter:
"God has given us gold, silver, oil and all the rest. If we take these things from the earth without proper care, we change the environment. Look - You have a tape recorder. If it goes wrong and you don’t know how to repair it but try to anyway, you’ll probably make things worse. Nature’s the same. We’ve been given nature but, if we change it through deforestation or by doing things which are forbidden such as creating life through cloning, we try to be on a par with God and that causes Him to be angry. Now we’re having to accept the consequences of our actions."
This sort of explanation for climate change is not unusual in Central America. Poor local people, who are suffering its effects first hand, are often unaware that it is being caused by global warming, let alone that this is to do with carbon dioxide emissions. And the Copenhagen climate conference? They've never heard of it.

Emergency mission to El Salvador for disaster relief
In the aftermath of deadly mudslides and devastating floods, AmeriCares sent emergency relief workers and disaster aid to help thousands of families in need. El Salvador was recently hit by flash floods and mudslides that killed nearly 200 people. MSNBC's Morning Joe special correspondents Susan and Joey Scarborough, joined AmeriCares relief efforts.
AmeriCares delivered an emergency airlift of over $275,000 worth of critical medicines to treat flood-related infections and injuries typical in flood situations such as in El Salvador. "Morning Joe" Host Joe Scarborough's wife Susan and son Joey helped bring much needed relief to disaster survivors.
"It was amazing to see first-hand how AmeriCares improves the lives of El Salvador's most disadvantaged," reflected Susan Scarborough. "Whether responding to mudslides or earthquakes, AmeriCares has gone the extra mile to bring hope to the hopeless."
Among the many places the relief team delivered aid were an orphanage, emergency shelter and several hospitals. The human tragedy was overwhelming.
Help AmeriCares provide medicines and humanitarian relief to people in desperate need around the world »
"AmeriCares work in El Salvador moved me greatly because I got to see firsthand how the organization delivers real results to people who need their help the most. I was honored to be able to deliver vital medicines and supplies to people hurt the most by the recent mudslides," continued Susan.
"Meeting a mother who lost her husband and child in the mudslides has made me realize not only how fortunate I am, but how much we all need to do to help people in need around the world."
Susan and the rest of the relief team met a young widow named Mercedes. She was at the Hospital Santa Gertrudis, covered from head to toe in cuts, scrapes and bruises. Mercedes was in severe physical pain, but what hurt her most was her broken heart.
Mercedes, her husband and seven year old son were asleep when they awoke to the sound of rushing water in their one room home. Trapped inside by crashing boulders, mudslide and flash flood waters, they struggled to get out. Their home then burst apart, hurling the family into rushing flood waters and sharp debris. Mercedes was helpless as her son and husband were swept away. The last time she saw her family, they were up to their necks in water - her son crying for help that she could not give.
Mercedes was rescued more than two miles from her home. Her wounds will heal thanks to the care at the Hospital Santa Gertrudis, but it could take a lifetime for her to recover from the trauma of losing her loved ones.
AmeriCares relief efforts were not without hope. Susan and Joey Scarborough also visited the Saint Vincent DePaul Children's Home. Supported by longtime partners the Order of Malta and FUSAL, AmeriCares donations help the orphanage's infirmary and other health care needs of the orphans.
"While I saw many heartbreaking scenes in El Salvador it was heartwarming to see how AmeriCares affects the lives of so many throughout the country," said Susan.
AmeriCares will continue to help communities in El Salvador and beyond. Humanitarian assistance is helping survivors of recent hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes and mudslides in Latin America, the Philippines, Indonesia and the United States. We will also maintain our ability to deliver aid to others in desperate need around the world and here at home.
AmeriCares responds in times of sudden natural disasters, and works to provide lifesaving medicines and humanitarian relief to people in poor and conflict-ridden countries struggling daily for survival around the world.
