New Caledonia is still reeling from a period of civil unrest in 2024 that caused billions of dollars in damage and ground its tourism industry to a halt. This year simmer political divisions between the capital city and outer provinces saw a weeks-long protest movement blockade airports and ground flights. Despite their geographical isolation, on the territory's outer islands, a focus on indigenous crop growing and sustainable living has insulated indigenous communities from the wider financial crisis. ‘The Pacific’ is hosted by Johnson Raela and Alice Lolohea. #ABCThePacific 📺 Watch The Pacific on ABC Australia or on ABC iView: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/pacific Like ABC Pacific on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ABCPacific Follow ABC Pacific on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abcpacific/ For more from ABC Pacific news, click here: https://www.abc.net.au/pacific Subscribe: https://ab.co/3yqPOZ5 Note: In most cases, our captions are auto-generated. #A
