| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Earth is home to thousands of islands and it is very difficult to know their actual number in the world. More than 600 million people live on islands and one in every ten people on earth is an islander. These islands have isolated individual ecosystems and provide ideal venues for scientific studies of the earth environment. They have typically small populations and their small economies make vulnerable to outside pressure. |
