          Can Easter Island’s cultural gems be moved to save them from the ravages of climate change? “Yes, but you lose their context, you lose their history when doing that.” http://nyti.ms/2FLuQWN pic.twitter.com/x1aAjg24ks

          Easter Islanders watch as climate change menaces their cultural heritage. But some say they’ll persevere, just as their ancestors survived ancient disasters. http://nyti.ms/2FLuQWN pic.twitter.com/0STp5xHoXH

          Maybe they died because they worked more on the statues then survival.
