Extractions: Talk ... Newswatch LANGUAGES Last Updated: Wednesday, 8 June, 2005, 14:20 GMT 15:20 UK E-mail this to a friend Printable version Country profile: Tuvalu Tuvalu is a group of nine tiny islands which won independence from the United Kingdom in 1978. Five of the islands are coral atolls, the other four consist of land rising from the sea bed. All are low-lying, with no point on Tuvalu being higher than 4.5 metres above sea level. This has prompted local politicians to campaign against global warming, arguing that climate change could see the islands swamped by rising sea levels. OVERVIEW FACTS LEADERS MEDIA Life on the islands is simple and often harsh. There are no streams or rivers, so the collection of rain is essential for providing fresh water. Coconut palms cover most of the islands, and copra is in effect the only export commodity. Increasing salination of the soil threatens traditional subsistence farming. Tuvalu is dependent on direct foreign aid, the cash from the sale of tuna fishing licences and the interest from a trust fund set up for the islanders' benefit in 1987. The sale of postage stamps also brings in revenues. It is one of a handful of countries to have diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Taipei has funded the construction of Tuvalu's largest building - a three-storey administrative headquarters.
