The above photo from 2019 shows children praying on a bamboo deck during Taraweeh of Ramadan.
The bamboo deck was constructed outside the mosque, surrounded by rising sea levels in the Sayung subdistrict of Demak in Central Java, Indonesia.
The photographer, Aji Styawan, made this photo as part of the series ‘Drowning Land’ to show how residents in the area were surviving through life threatening floods.
The island of Java has lost 78 percent of its mangroves, which were a natural barrier protecting the low-lying coastline from storms and erosion, according to Wetlands International.
“In Demak, this loss is compounded by rising sea levels and sinking land – the result of groundwater abstraction in a nearby city,” Global Center on Adaptation reports.
“Indonesia is highly vulnerable to climate change impacts, including extreme events such as floods and droughts, and long-term changes from sea level rise, shifts in rainfall patterns and increasing temperature,” World Bank Group reports.
