Funafuti

Funafuti is the main atoll and administrative center of Tuvalu, a small island country in the Pacific Ocean. Comprising a ring-shaped reef with a chain of small islets, it surrounds a central lagoon. The atoll hosts most of Tuvalu's population, government offices, and facilities. Its environment is characterized by low-lying land, making it vulnerable to rising sea levels caused by climate change. Funafuti offers a unique blend of natural beauty, including coral reefs and clear waters, along with community life centered around fishing and subsistence activities. It exemplifies the delicate balance between human habitation and fragile island ecosystems.
