Aerial shot of Gardi Sugdub, or ‘Crab Island,’ is a tiny island in an archipelago off Panama’s northern Caribbean coast and has been home to Guna Indigenous people for over 100 years. Originally the island provided the Guna with refuge from mainland mosquito-borne illnesses and colonial restrictions, but today, Gardi Sugdub faces new challenges. With nearly 1,300 people on an island of about five soccer fields, there is no room to expand homes or for children to play.
