The Republic of Kiribati is an island nation located in the central tropical Pacific Ocean. It is composed of 32 atolls and one raised coral island dispersed over an expanse of ocean equivalent in size to the continental United States. These islands straddle the equator and border the International Date Line to the east. Its main exports are fish, seaweed, shark fins The area now called Kiribati has been inhabited by Micronesians speaking the same Oceanic language since sometime between 3000 BC[4] and AD 1300. The area was not isolated; invaders from Tonga and Fiji later introduced Polynesian and Melanesian cultural aspects, respectively. In June 2008, the Kiribati president Anote Tong said that the country has reached "the point of no return." Kiribati is expected to be first country in which land territory disappears due to global climate change. Very little land is more than three meters above sea level. |
