 For a long time our islands were not on the maps to begin with because they were too small or too insignificant at the time to be on the maps and then it's only in the past say 20 years that we finally started seeing our countries our islands small as they were on large world maps to then get to the point where there is a very real possibility that we will once again not be on the maps and not by an oversight of cartography but that of the reality that these islands especially atonations of the Pacific could violently disappear as a result of sea level rise and climate change that is scary not just scary but also extremely unfair for those who reside on those islands
