Amid fears of a renewal of mining on the already decimated Kiribati island of Banaba, the residents there, and on Rabi Island in Fiji, have been receiving help from an international advocacy group called ICAAD.
The mining plans are now in abeyance after an outcry over Banabans being shut out of the decision making and ICAAD wants the world to be aware of their
plight.
RNZ Pacific's Don Wiseman spoke with ICAAD's Erin Thomas.
