Description
Reuters reports that "Tuvalu plans to build a digital version of itself, replicating islands and landmarks and preserving its history and culture, as rising sea levels threaten to submerge the tiny Pacific island nation".

Tuvalu's Foreign Minister Simon Kofe states that "only considered global effort can ensure that Tuvalu does not move permanently online and disappear forever from the physical plane".
