Kiribati – Back-Up Land

Kiribati is made up of 33 islands, and in the year1999, two of these islands went overtaken by water, and they were never seen again.  The name of these islands was Tebua Tarawa and Abanuea.  Although they were uninhabited, they were often used by fishermen. 

Presently, there is fear among some that Kiribati's country will completely disappear underwater or become uninhabited by the year 2100.  So, with this in mind, on 23^rd May 2014, the government of the time purchased 2200 hectares of land in Fiji to relocate its citizens.  This purchase cost US$8.77 million.  Part of the area that was purchased is called Natoavatu Estates.
