"According to the United Nations, some 150 million people will become climate refugees by 2050. The journalists and photographers of Collectif Argos have spent four years seeking out the first wave of people displaced by the consequences of climate change.

Today, for the Tanzanian, the town has become Bongoland, that is, a place where survival is a matter of cunning
