Tana Lodge HotelBBC

Kenyan coastal village of Kipini is under threat as seawater levels continue to rise.
The Tana Lodge Hotel , built on top of sand dunes, had nine guest cottages swallowed by the sea in five years .
The cause of their disappearance appears to be a combination of deforestation by locals wanting coveted hard wood - and rising sea water as a result of climate change.
Similar walls have been built at historical sites such as Fort Jesus in Mombasa and Vasco Da Gama Pillar in Malindi after the rise in seawater threatened these tourist attractions.
Climate experts say building a wall in Kipini is a "mechanistic solution", and there needs to be conservation initiatives like the restoration of mangrove forests.
