Ravanavi, Kiribati: Phosphate Island in the Pacific Ocean
Ravanavi (Banaba), also known as Ocean Island, is a remote island in the Republic of Kiribati, located in the west-central Pacific Ocean about 300 kilometers from the capital city of Tarawa. The island is known for its rich phosphate deposits, and was once a globally important phosphate mining center in the early 20th century, attracting Australian and British mining companies. However, over-exploitation has led to the depletion of the resources, the destruction of the island's ecosystem, and a sharp decline in the number of inhabitants from more than 2,000 in its heyday to less than 200 today. Famous for its unique atoll landscape and rich marine life, Ravanavi is a hidden paradise for divers and nature lovers. Despite its distance from the mainland, the island has retained its traditional Kiribati culture and way of life, and quietly speaks of the history and natural beauty of the Pacific islands.
