General Views From Torres Strait Islands
THURSDAY ISLAND, AUSTRALIA - MARCH 30: The Mayor of the Torres Shire Council Vonda Malone discusses climate change and the difficulties of getting Indigenous voices heard outside of the region on March 30, 2021 in Thursday Island, Australia. More than 250 Islands make up the Torres Strait, a body of water separating the Cape York Peninsula and the southern coast of Papua New Guinea. The Islands are highly vulnerable to climate change. As sea levels continue to rise, tides have become more destructive and coastal erosion is occurring at a faster rate. New seawalls are being built in different projects around the islands in an effort to hold back rising sea levels (Footage by Brook Mitchell/Getty Images)
