Carti Sugtupu island is located in the Caribbean Sea, 1,200 metres away from Panama's north coast.

It's a tiny island with little space for houses.

Some of them are built over the water.

Two thousand Guna people live there.

Life on the island is tough.

There's no electricity, little drinking water and no private toilets.

The people earn money from fishing, making traditional clothes and tourism.

The people have to move to the mainland because of climate change.

Steven Paton says the sea level is rising and the island will sink.

The plan is to move 300 Guna families there.

Braulio Navarro is happy to start a new life.

The Guna people are happy about their new homes, but they're worried their lifestyle will die.

But Magdalena Martinez is positive that the traditions will continue.
