    Overview

    Fenua Fala is one of the four inhabited islets that make up the Fakaofo Atoll in Tokelau, a non-self-governing territory of New Zealand in the Pacific Ocean. It serves as the primary residential area for the Fakaofo community, having been established in 1960 to address overcrowding on the traditional village islet of Fale. Life on Fenua Fala is linked to the marine environment and the limited resources available, with broader concerns of climate change and rising sea-levels.
