Summary
[edit]DescriptionThe sustainable transformation of the Tonga archipelago (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 5 August 2021, shows the islands of Tongatapu and ‘Eua in the Tonga archipelago. The Tonga archipelago is particularly susceptible to a wide range of environmental threats which are exacerbated by climate change, including extreme weather events, coastal erosion, heat waves, droughts, ocean acidification and sea level rise. As part of a sustainable transformation drive, locals have recently started building canoes instead of motor boats, reducing their environmental impact and helping to preserve marine biodiversity. |
