Illegally diverted rivers, seawater and poorly managed building projects have polluted the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta. But the Unesco site has a vital role to play in fighting climate changeFrom the porch of her family home in Nueva Venecia, Magdalena, Yeidis Rodríguez Suárez watches the sunset.
