Togoru, a climate change warning.

- Togoru is a settlement in Navua, the province of Namosi, Fiji, It is a short drive from the nation's capital, Suva, which is visible in the distance from what is left of Togaru's beach. The impact of climate change has produced a stark and surreal seascape: the images of graves, once on land, but now under waist-deep water. These graves are the Dunn family burial grounds. The Dunns buried there had expressed a wish to be buried next to the sea not in it. Such is the impact of climate change that has seen sea levels rise at a staggering rate washing away land that had originally been a place where children played and adults strolled along beaches. Now all that is the stuff of memories as the sea continues to rise relentlessly. However, Togoru is not unique. There is a list of 60 villages in Fiji that need relocation. For a country with less than a million people, that is a sobering statistic.

I used to live in Lautoka. 2966 - 2005
Vinaka Bulou! Lots more stories to come. I’ve taken a short break plus the weather has been very inclement - lots of rain! I’ll be starting again soon. 😃🫶🏽👍🏽🇫🇯🙏🏽🙌🏽👌🏽

You're most welcome 😊 also i love the theme music used in the intro it's absolutely spectacular, question are you in Fiji at the moment? I hope you can come back to this island do more interviews with the Kailomas people because this is better then the ABC or the BBC ever did 😳 seriously. Fiji is such a stunning beautiful place my personal favorite place in the world 🌎 😍 I'll be doing my studies there in January 2024.
@@chickentwisties2298 There are some great stories about the European ancestors of the Kailomas. Most of the ones I have read are contained in “Domodomo”, the journal of the Fiji Museum that ran for many years but ended, I believe, in the 1990s.
Thank you so much for great content.
Thank you, Priya. 😃🙏🏽👍🏽🫶🏽🙌🏽👌🏽👏🏽
Another beautiful video Sir....Historical and refreshing.
Thank you, Willy. 😃👍🏽✌🏽👌🏽👍🏾
Great video Azeem. I guess entire world is going through same problem and it is very sad to see how much Fiji impacting climate change. Fiji is such a small country and the effect we can see is very high. Something no one can imagine in day to day busy life unless you notice it slowly. We are so fortunate to watch this beautiful video in our comfort from your hard work.
Thank you, Babita! Yes, I find it very sad. There’s so much to say about how climate change is having an impact on Fiji. So many coastal villages are affected. I don’t know if the government is getting much assistance in the way of money to deal with the problem. Very sad:
Amazing content Aseem, I thoroughly enjoy following you, wishing you more subscribers, I admit I learned something today with your video.. a word you used.. EROSION!!!!
So nice of you, Nilesh! Thank you!
@@ThePaleBlueDot vinaka sir
This is absolute bullshit. Togoru is located on the Western edge of the Pacific plate, which is slowly shifting UNDERNEATH the Australian plate. This is only a perceived rise, because the phenomenon is called TECTONIC plate movement. The islands on the Eastern edge of the Australian plate are slowly RISING out of the water, so the apparent level of the ocean there is dropping. Do not try to lay horseshit on people. This is NOT climate change. If the ocean was rising, then the levels around the planet would be rising at an equal rate. Water does not rise in one area only, without a corresponding rise in all other places. Climate nut jobs were predicting in the early 1980s that the streets of New York would be under 20 stories of water (200'), by 2000. The water levels are no different today, 40 plus years later, then they were in 1980. I lived on Vancouver Island until last year and water levels have not changed in 100 years.This entire story is bogus and intended to scare uneducated and ignorant people. People who are too lazy to check things out themselves and take other people's word as gospel. Climate "change" has been happening second by second, since the formation of the planet's atmosphere, 4 billion years ago. Change is NORMAL and part of a living, breathing interconected atmospheric and environmental system. No change means stagnation and death. If seasonal change were to halt, then be very worried.
@@doctorno0070 doc, this is awesome.. thank you, this climate hysteria is all a farce in my view also, the climate changes every day, I would even say every second, but I enjoyed THE PALE BLUE DOTS content because it showed a part of Fiji and the people there that are akin to me. I also highlighted the word EROSION that is a natural occurrence wherever there is water.. unfortunately the climate activists and alarmists will be hard to curtail so we will have to live with there fear mongering, I enjoyed Dan Pena's statements about Antarctica about the ice there and that the scientists actually said to him that climate is cyclical.. cheers doc
Wow this place is so beautiful but the government is gonna have to step in and do something now
I should have used my drone. It really is incredibly beautiful.
@@ThePaleBlueDot
Thanku for replying bro
I just hope the government or world leaders can somehow do something
@@chickentwisties2298 Agreed. Very sad situation.
Just saw this place mentioned again in a leftist news piece. It’s really perfect for selling the message. Well done placing the graves at the beach of a sinking island.
They weren’t originally on the beach. They were in a low, grassy area close to the beach that was eroded by rising sea levels.
@@ThePaleBlueDot 😜
Didn't know there's a thing called climate change. If this settlement is experiencing sea level rise, why isn't other parts in the vicinity impacted. Or the whole country and the 300 Islands. We share the same ocean. It is called EROSION, it's a natural phenomenon, man has to learn to adjust. Great video by the way, first time hearing of that place.
Thanks, David. Will be upping the quality of the vlogs as much as possible. Climate change is controversial, isn’t it?

Amazing history of the Dunn's
Absolutely. Their history is worthy of a story of its own. 😃👍🏽✌🏽👌🏽
@@ThePaleBlueDot absolutely, grew up with a man I consider an elder brother, a Dunn, in labasa.. all kailomas have great stories... thank you again for your great content..
@@nileshrichardjaduram9304 They certainly do. They have a lot of great history to relate.
We had some Dunns in Xavier College in Ba. I remember Violet and Anna. Also had the Brown family members.
