Tuvalu: That Sinking Feeling

People have been asking me about extra credit, so one of the suggestions that I gave people was to look at the impact of environmental change on certain peoples. I suggested Tuvalu as one case that you might find interested.

You could use this website as a jumping point:

http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/rough/2005/12/tuvalu_that_sin_1.html

There's a bunch of information out there about Tuvalu.

You could look at the impact of global warming on other peoples too, such as the Inuit. Or you could look at the impact of deforestation on people like the Yanomamo in S. America or Semai in Malaysia.

If you choose this route, then make sure to cite your sources and to use more than just the website that I'm emailing to you now.
