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 23rd 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.
