Maldives youth activists fight climate threats

Young activists in the Maldives are confronting climate change and environmental damage through protests, cleanups, and advocacy. Groups like Project ThimaaVeshi have demonstrated against land reclamation harming mangroves in a UNESCO biosphere reserve, while others tackle plastic pollution. Experts warn the island nation could become 80% uninhabitable within 50 years due to rising seas, driving a new generation to action.
