Tasi ida de’it

Because instead of Rote, the land on top of this image could be Timor Leste’s Tasi Mane, I spent 90 minutes putting this page together on the Timor Sea Spill.

Judging by the Australian (non)-reaction to this environmental catastrophe, Timor Leste should not rely on its neighbor to clean up its future messes.

Environmental disaster knows no national borders, or redrawn maritime boundaries.
