Bardzo proszę o pomoc w tłumaczeniu ! ‘When I was a little boy, I loved to go fishing in the sea with my spear,’ says John Sailike, sadly. ‘When I leave the island, I’ll lose the sea and the happiness of this place. I’ll miss the sound of the waves at night … I won’t hear it any more.’ (1) John is a fisherman from the Carteret islands in the South Pacific, an idyllic semi-circle of white sand, palm trees and crystal clear waters. Each day, he goes out in a canoe to catch fish for his family, while his wife looks after the children and grows vegetables in their garden. The family lives in a wood hut with sand floors and they don’t use much electricity, so when the sun goes down, it is usually time for bed. (2) This peaceful, underdeveloped place has a tiny population and only one contact with the outside world – a ship which brings supplies from Bougainville, a large island 86 km away. But all this is about to change, because John, along with 3,000 other people, is leaving his island home. The question is, why? Take a closer look at the islands and the reason becomes clear. The Carterets are the victim of global warming. High tides often flood across the villages and wash away people’s homes. (3) Salt water from the sea is overflowing into vegetable gardens and devastating fruit trees. It’s contaminating the fresh water supply, too. Islanders are struggling to survive on coconut milk and fish, and children are suffering from malnutrition. The dying trees are home to mosquitoes that spread diseases, like malaria. People know that life on the island is coming to an end. Experts predict that the Carterets will be under water by 2015. Before then, (4) the islanders will relocate to places like Bougainville and rebuild their lives. This move will provide people with food and shelter, but what will happen to their culture? The islanders have songs for different everyday activities, and traditions and celebrations linked to the sea. They also have their own language, called ‘Halia’. (5) If they co-exist with other cultures, this may die out. ‘We’re losing our home, our identity, our whole life,’ says islander Ursula Rakova. ‘We hope the world is listening.’ It is. (6) Over the last few years, articles in international newspapers, YouTube videos and an Oscar-nominated documentary film called Sun is Up have talked about the Carteret islands. People have supported the islanders and as a result, they have turned their anger and frustration into action. ‘Tulele Peisa’ is a project which is helping to evacuate people like Ursula. It’s also looking for ways to preserve their way of life and record their language and traditions for future generations. Back on the island, John Sailike is getting into his boat for the last time. He’s saying goodbye to his home and to his ancestors. He does not know what the future will bring; he does not know if his culture will survive. He is the human face of climate change.
