Tuvalu: The first digital nation?

Available for over a year

When rising sea levels threaten a country’s very existence, how can its culture be preserved? Tuvalu wants to create an online replica of its landscape and an archive of its language, music and important artefacts. Prianka Srinivasan finds out how the government’s “digital nation” plan is developing, and speaks to Tuvaluans about what they’re already doing to celebrate and pass on the country’s heritage and customs.
