Oceania's Hidden Gem: Tuvalu
With a population of just 1100, and an area of 26 sq. km 15 feet above sea level, Tuvalu is the smallest country, located amidst the Pacific Ocean. Despite being particularly vulnerable to rising sea levels, this gem is significant as a symbol of resilience in the face of climate change. With minimal resources and foreign aid, the Tuvaluans thrive on their knowledge of fishing, and scarce tourism. Yet, the potential loss of Tuvalu's land threatens its unique Polynesian traditions that hold the community together. Will all be forgotten about the Tuvaluans once the tides take over?
