The Dark Future Of Tuvalu

Everywoman

Available for over a year

Life on the South Pacific islands of Tuvalu may seem idyllic, but modern life is making itself felt, and not all in positive ways - the islands are threatened by both climate change and HIV. What does the future hold for them? Also on the programme: How one woman is fighting to save Rwandan mountain gorillas. Plus, a look at the Nigerian woman who opened her own garage.
