Ecosystem destroyed

The Times of Fiji reports how local villages have been affected by resource extraction related to construction work in the country:

FOOD security for about 500 villagers has been affected following a development project in the village of Kavula in Bua.

Harmed are various types of fish, prawns and eels that villagers have depended on since the establishment of the village.

Tui Kavula Ratu Laisenia Masicola said his people in Kavula and other villgers from Bainikea, Votua and surrounding settlements had not been able to eat any of these harmed food for the past three months — when gravel extraction started.
