Lysa Wini Speaking About Solomon Islands

In this short video, Lysa Wini from the Solomon Islands speaks about the place she calls home. The 900 islands that make the Solomon Islands spreads over 29,000km, however the extent of the ocean space under the country’s custodianship is a vast expanse encompassing 361,000 sqkm. This means that about 98% of the Solomon islands is actually the ocean. However, the ocean within (and beyond) the Solomon Islands faces significant pressures from climate change, industrialisation, overdevelopment and globalisation, all of which represent serious threats to both the spiritual and physical wellbeing of the islanders.
