This week's highlights
A favourite reef, a beloved atoll: Marshall Islands parents name children after vanishing landmarks
It was once rare for Marshallese children to be given such names: most received the names of relatives. In recent years, however, and among better-off Marshallese, there has been a small surge in children named after the places from which their families come, highlighting the emotionally-laden ways Pacific Islanders are grappling with the future of a region battling economic challenges and climate turmoil.
Maldives’ Thilafushi – the story of a trash island’s journey to sustainable waste management
Thilafushi is often referred to as a “trash island” or a “rubbish island” because it was originally created as a landfill to handle the Maldives’ waste. As the population of the Maldives grew and tourism increased, so did the amount of waste generated.
Thilafushi became a dumping ground for all kinds of waste, including hazardous materials like batteries and electronics.
