NAURU: THE COUNTRY THAT ATE ITSELF

[@keenwood571]

What a heart breaking reality for this once lovely Island country!

As I can understand, Germans and Australians ate Nauru! Every country in the world is poor because of the occupiers!

Greed has no conscience, and kills many things.

[@senianns9522]

Greed caused the destruction! They squandered the money at the expense of the natural beauty and solitude! Sad to see!

they should have had soil in the ships coming to fill up with phosphate , they could then empty the soil which would have filled up the parts were the phosphate was removed from . Even now they can flatten out those coral pinnacles with explosives and machines . there is literally no reason it should still be like that .

[@FourCornersFacts]

Good points

[@Andrew-un8tx]

There's no reason for trash to be scattered all over the island either, except for the people.

Is it Nauru or Na'uru? This narrator pronounces it both ways.

Honorable Members of Parliament, I stand before you today to talk about the environment of the beautiful island nation of Nauru. As a small country located in the Pacific Ocean, Nauru faces unique challenges when it comes to preserving its natural resources and protecting the environment. Despite its small size, Nauru has a diverse range of flora and fauna. The island is home to many endemic species of plants and animals, which means that they can only be found on Nauru and nowhere else in the world. However, the environment of Nauru has been greatly impacted by human activities, such as mining and deforestation. Mining has been a major part of Nauru's economy since the early 20th century. Phosphate mining, in particular, has been a significant source of income for the country. However, the mining process has resulted in extensive environmental damage. Large areas of the island have been stripped of their vegetation and soil, leaving behind a barren landscape that is prone to erosion and flooding. The mining activities have also resulted in pollution and contamination of the island's soil and water resources. This has had a devastating impact on the health of the local population and has made it difficult to sustain agriculture and other forms of livelihood. Deforestation is another major environmental issue facing Nauru. The island's forests have been cleared for timber and other resources, resulting in the loss of habitat for many native species and the destruction of important ecological functions, such as carbon sequestration and soil conservation. Despite these challenges, Nauru has taken steps to address environmental issues and promote sustainability. The government has implemented policies and programs aimed at preserving the island's natural resources and protecting the environment. The country has established a number of protected areas, such as the Buada Lagoon Conservation Area and the Moqua Well Conservation Area, which are home to many endemic species of plants and animals. Nauru has also adopted sustainable practices, such as using solar energy to power the country's electricity needs and promoting the use of bicycles as an alternative to cars. The government has also worked to educate the public about the importance of environmental protection and has encouraged community involvement in conservation efforts. In conclusion, the environment of Nauru is a crucial issue that requires our attention and action. As leaders, it is our responsibility to ensure that Nauru's natural resources are preserved and protected for future generations. Let us work together to find sustainable solutions and build a more resilient and prosperous future for Nauru and its people. Thank you.

[@Applecider-Poetry]

NOPE GERM LAND ATE NAURU. what was that about colonial mismanagement? That's just the beginning of the REAL STORY.

[@ekesandras1481]

the German mining didn't even last 10 years, from 1906 and 1914. Since than the mining has continued for mor than hundred years.

[@Applecider-Poetry]

@@ekesandras1481 that is so sad, the place is beautiful. they need to get some leadership and diversify. or the land will reclaim itself in some form.

[@nakedrider07]

When they completely collapse Australia needs to take in every single Nauru citizen and set them up with homes and jobs after what they did
