Islands of Tuvalu
The nine beautiful islands of Tuvalu, in the Pacific Ocean, have always been at a very low sea
level, They are only just above the surface of the ocean now, but the sea is rising every year
Tropical storms on the island have begun to get much worse since the 1980s. Rising sea
waters cause floods. The floods are destructive - turning whole villages into lakes.
One of the problems is that the sea water is making the land too salty, so it is impossible to
grow any crops.
This natural disaster has caused a feeling of sadness in the hearts of many, and experts
believe it was caused by climate change. They think the problem is going to get worse.
These tiny islands will disappear completely unless we can stop global warming.
The Tuvalans face a difficult dilemma. If they stay in Tuvalu, their lives will be in danger
and their resources will no longer become sufficient. However if they leave, they will suffer
deeply Tuvalu is the only home they have ever known.
