Maldives is one meter or less above the sea level, which makes it the lowest country of the world. Rising sea level and green house emission can displace the land. But Maldives isn't the first one to be displaced from its place. Many of the residents of Bangladesh's Bhola Island lost their homes due to rising sea level. In 2005, the 1600 residents of Papua New Guinea Carteret Island began to evacuate because of the same reason. Muhammad Nasheed, president of Maldives, is taking necessary steps to tackle this situation. he is looking for the land in India or Srilanka as the customs and traditions of the nations are quite similar. He is also considering Australia which have some spare land.
