TWO months of climate change.
The peoples of Manus Island in Papua
New Guinea have initiated a two month
long-canoe voyage throughout the Pacific
region to raise awareness of climate change.
Themed ‘Bridging the gaps between the
Pacific-connecting countries’ the voyage is
aimed at inspiring community based action
to halt climate change, including
conservation projects and marine
protection initiatives.
According to voyage organisers, the use of
the long-canoe also ensures minimal
environmental impact.
During its sojourn, the canoe will cover
some 10,000kms, and will visit the New
Ireland province, Bougainville, Solomon
Islands, Nauru, Kiribati, Marshall Islands,
Kosrae, Ponape, Truk Island, Puluwat, Sorol,
Yap, Palau, Aua Wuvulu, Ninigo and Hermit
Islands.
