During World War II the nation was known as the Ellice Islands and was a colony of Great Britain. Several of its islands were used as Strategic Military bases during the Pacific theater of World War II. The country is formed of about nine coral islands. A lot of their infrastructure comes from tourism and in addition to speaking English due to being colonized by Britain, they also speak their own language known as Tuvaluan. As of the past couple of years they have been having major issues with rising sea levels with many noting that the "Ocean is eating the sand."

There are nearly 59,000 internally displaced people and 143,500 Malian refugees located in neighboring countries.
To understand why Mali struggles with poverty we must consider the negative effects that drought and erratic rainfall have had on the country. Climate change has also led to higher temperatures, less rainfall, and growing desertification in Mali, already one of the hottest countries in the world. 90 percent of the rural population works in the agricultural sector and due to the adverse conditions, 25 percent of families are moderate to severely food insecure- Ana Rubio. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:22:47 UTC https://padlet.com/drjmarcus317/7fpbb8a4w6a8hetm/wish/1736484950 https://padlet.com/drjmarcus317/7fpbb8a4w6a8hetm/wish/1736485383 Located in the Eastern Himalayas.

It's capital is Funafuti. Tuvalu is known to be the fourth-smallest country in the world. The existence of the low-lying island is threatened by rising sea levels caused by global warming. Europeans first discovered the islands in the 16th century through the voyages of Álvaro de Mendaña de Neira, but it was only from the 1820s, with visits by whalers and traders, that they were reliably placed on European charts. Due to environmental factors such as rising ocean levels and soil erosion, Tuvalu is slowly shrinking in land mass at a rate of 2 millimeters per year which causes the population of this country to be exceedingly low.]]> 2021-09-13 15:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/drjmarcus317/7fpbb8a4w6a8hetm/wish/1736491826 https://padlet.com/drjmarcus317/7fpbb8a4w6a8hetm/wish/1736492360 Bhutan is a country located in south central Asia, near the eastern ridges of the Himalayas.
