Atauro is an island that is located in the south-east of Asia on the extinct Wetar segment of the volcanic inner banda, I have been reading about this and also I have learnt a lot of new words, the reports of the CI are a good resource to learn new things.
Atauro is an unusual island and it is not just because is an island, it is because it has one feature that it is not usual in a city and it is the lack of fresh water, in this island there are no lakens, ponds , rivers or large stream. The water is supplied by the limestone rock beneath the forests and it is literally a trickle, people who live in there have to walk kilometers from their homes to get fresh water, "people understand that protecting water is non-negotiable" (CI report)
There is a really close connection between nature and people, they understand that living this way is not that simple but is the awarenes of taking care of nature.
Even of the lack of fresh water they understand that they have to take care of animals too and the variety of mammals and lizards are part of their normal life.
with this article I have learnt a lot of vocabulary such as the words: watershed, cope, lizards, limestones,pitfall, reef and trickle.
Maybe I know it is not necesary to write these new learnt words but for me it is necessary to remember it them all.
