The pandemic, climate change and growing conflict

are forcing a seismic shift in global migration.

In few places is that more clear than a perilous crossing

called the Darién Gap.

What’s Driving Record Levels of Migration to the U.S. Border?

The United States is trying to curtail border crossings

as a Covid-era immigration policy lifts this week,

but it has little control over the crises in Latin America

that have upended the lives of millions.

Darién Gap        UK / USA

 

2022 > The United Nations says

there are now at least 103 million

forcibly displaced people around the world,

a record number that is only expected to grow.

 

In few places is that shift

more evident than in the Darién Gap,

a hostile, sparsely populated, roadless land bridge

connecting South America and Central America

that must be traversed to reach the United States

on foot.
