Wheeler, with photography by Bennetts, describes all aspects of life on the tiny group of atolls in the South Pacific. Royalties from leasing the domain name .tv doubled the annual budget. With careful management, Tuvaluans are able to provide free education, improved health care, and prepare for an uncertain future. Early in the 21st century the estimated sea-level rise of 2 mm per year gave the low-lying atolls of Tuvalu 50-100 years before they will be submerged. Tuvaluan government has been lobbying New Zealand, Australia and Fiji regarding forced migration should Tuvalu become uninhabitable. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A tiny Pacific nation made up of low-lying coral atolls and islands, Tuvalu possesses a unique culture and environment. But climate change causing rising sea levels threatens the existence of this island paradise. The government has sold its web designation (.tv) to real-video websites to assist in the publication of this book. Tuvalu is an evocative portrait in words and photographs of a tiny nation in danger of being lost forever. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
