Easter Island's iconic moai statues are under threat from climate change. Rising sea levels, extreme weather, and erosion are accelerating their deterioration. The Ma'u Henua Indigenous community leads restoration efforts, applying protective treatments and advocating for sustainable preservation. However, limited funding and bureaucratic challenges hinder progress. The moai are more than monuments; they embody ancestral heritage and cultural identity. Their loss would be a profound blow to Rapa Nui's legacy.
