In December 2008, the low-lying Carteret Islands were badly damaged by king tides and violent storm surges. Nicholas Hakata, a local youth leader and community representative, explains that he and his family have been surviving on mainly fish and coconuts, and battling the swamp mosquitoes that have brought malaria.
With the local government's food aid ship coming once or twice a year, the relocation plans are equally as slow. Hungry and unwell, the islanders have set up a relocation team and have begun a series of urgent tasks to move families closer to security.

the language sounds like people from Russell Islands in the Solomons.
It's buka language from the North Solomons
An excellent video... such a shame that such a place will be disappearing!!!
I agree!
Untrue. There lives more people now than 10 years ago.
13 years later ... these islands are still there
Please reread what I wrote: Chinese civilization is the oldest LIVING "civilization". I did not say that they are the first "race". My response was to your comment of Asian people only looking like Asian people because Caucasians were there. It's like you said that Asians do not look like Africans because they were "visited/conquered by the white race".
What language is he speaking?

unfortunately it is a tourist hub and essentially, part of the problem, when it comes to global emissions and why they exist...
No tourist here at all.
very nice vodeo
That place looks like its never really been visited/conquered by the white race. Is that why those people look so much like africans?
I bet you if cocausians were there they would look like other asian people.... but how can those dark people have landed on those island unless it was africans that moved there by Sea Navigation from Africa.... In which case, if its possible for ancient Africans to reach Australia, why is it not possible that they reached the Americas before Columbus ?
And here I thought the cradle of mankind was in Africa.
Never mind dude.... clearly you know what you are talking about.
