The effects of climate change are becoming more severe along the Waria River, where continuous heavy rain and repeated flooding are destroying food gardens that local communities depend on for survival. Prolonged rainfall causes the soil to become waterlogged, making it difficult for crops such as taro, banana, yam, and sweet potato to grow properly. Floodwaters wash away fertile topsoil, drown young plants, and leave gardens damaged for long periods. As flooding happens more often, families are losing their main source of food and income, creating hunger, hardship, and uncertainty. This situation places increasing stress on communities because climate change is not only affecting the environment, but also threatening food security and the daily lives of people who rely on the land.
