ENI – One of the world's smallest nations, Tuvalu is slowly but surely sinking into the Pacific Ocean. Political and Church leaders want the world to join them in saving their nation of 12,000 people, and in doing so, save the world itself from the worst effects of climate change.
Don't Give Up On Us, is the plea to the world by the head of the largest non-governmental organization in the country, the Christian Church of Tuvalu (Ekalesia Kelisiano Tuvalu).
Rev. Tofina Falani, the church's president, says his country is "on the frontline of climate change, and the evidence is before our eyes. Words can't explain it, but I am so thankful to God for this 26 square kilometres and I don't want to be forced by another power to leave this place."
Tuvalu is the world's fourth smallest country, bigger only than the Vatican City, Monaco and Nauru.
