Extractions: Press Review Archive Wednesday, 28 August, 2002 Tuvalu Fights for its Life by Angie Knox, 28 August 2002 Shrinking: Tuvalu´s nine atolls are at risk Leaders of the tiny island nation of Tuvalu are one of the most vocal minorities at the Earth Summit in Johannesburg; they are desperate to halt global warming before their nation disappears beneath the Pacific Ocean. Tuvalu is currently the second smallest country (after Nauru), but it's getting smaller. The group of nine coral atolls' highest point is four metres above sea level, and scientists say in the next 50 years rising sea levels could swamp the islands and create the world's first casualty of climate change. listen to the full report by Angie Knox Just days before the Earth Summit opened in Johannesburg, freak waves flooded the road on Tuvalu's main island of Funafuti. The four metre waves hit without warning, flooding homes and gardens. Standing up to their knees in seawater, local residents like this woman wondered aloud if this heralded the beginning of the end for their low-lying atoll homeland: "It's frightening me very much. I don't know what's going to happen. I'm worried about the island; this is the very best island I know, and it's going to be drowned in the sea I think . . . it's enough, we have to move out."

Office of Program Keywords: /Biological diversity/ /Population impact/ /Land use/ /Pollution/ /Pesticides/ /Waste disposal/ /Endangered species/ /Tuvalu/ - /Drought/ /Floods/ /Cyclones/ /Land tenure/ /Protected environmental areas/ Extremely high population growth in Tuvalu has led to the conversion of virtually all arable land on the nation's eight inhabited islands. This report examines the effects of land use practices and other human activities on Tuvalu's biological diversity. Major threats are identified as: (1) overgrazing; (2) standardization of garden and agricultural crops; and (3) indiscriminant use of pesticides and disposal of pollutants and illegal poisoning of fish. In addition to human activities, natural disasters such as tropical cyclones and frequent droughts and floods have threatened isolated populations of rare species. The report also provides background information on Tuvalu's basic geography (including a list of available maps and surveys), political system, biodiversity protection laws, land tenure system, managed area systems, and governmental and nongovernmental conservation agencies. Major taxa and ecosystems are also listed.
