Some days after typhoon Haiyan, recorded as the biggest and deadliest typhoon in the history of the Philippines and which caused extreme devastation, a former cyclo driver who had been staying at a refugee camp with his children, tries to persuade them to go back to the slums to live again at the home they occupied before.The massive substitution of Mangrove trees by palm trees to profit from the oil made the land totally vulnerable to the typoon winds and all the palm trees were destroyed. In the morning that I took this image at the coast of San Jose in Tacloban there was an eerie feeling of silence and total devastation. There is a scientific relation between the violence of Supertyphoon Haiyan and global warming ,and the Global Climate Risk listed the Philippines as the number one most affected country by climate change in 2013 which later happened to be the year of the Super typhoon Haiyan.
