Overview of Sao Tome and Principe (note on "Java")

São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.

Lunga Tower, Kiribati: a unique presence on a Pacific atoll

Lunga, an atoll in Kiribati's Gilbert Islands, is located about 300 kilometers north of the capital, South Tarawa, and consists of several small islands surrounded by a tranquil lagoon. As part of Kiribati, it has retained its pristine nature, with white sandy beaches set against turquoise blue waters, a paradise for marine life. The atoll is sparsely populated, and the local residents maintain a traditional way of life with fishing and coconut cultivation as their livelihood. Due to its low-lying location, Lungata is also threatened by rising sea levels and is at the forefront of observing the effects of climate change. Its unique location and ecological values make it a fragile and precious meeting point of nature and humanity in the Pacific Ocean.
