Tuvalu: The first digital nation?

How do you preserve a country's culture when its future is under threat? As sea levels rise, it is a question the people of Tuvalu are trying to answer, in all sorts of ways.

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 β€œdigital nation” plan is developing, and speaks to Tuvaluans about what they are already doing to celebrate and pass on the country’s heritage and customs.
