Kiribati: A Drowning Paradise in the South Pacific

| 0 comments

 

As part of our studies for Earth Day, we focussed our lenses on this small South Pacific nation. Students watched a documentary, then brainstormed all the ways the indigenous peoples of this nation are trying to cope with the effects of climate change. It may be that this place could permanently be wiped off the earth’s map as tides rise and coral reefs (atolls) get eroded from pollution, mostly caused by the western countries. As this documentary explains, the people are one of the first “climate change refugees.” We are indeed all connected to this fragile earth. Our actions matter!
