Summary:
- The iconic moai statues on Easter Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are at risk of being damaged or destroyed due to rising sea levels caused by climate change.
- The moai, which are large stone heads carved by the Rapa Nui people, are located near the island's coastline and are vulnerable to erosion and flooding as the sea levels continue to rise.
- Researchers are working to develop strategies to protect the moai, such as relocating them to higher ground or building barriers to prevent them from being damaged by the rising waters.
