INTRODUCTION
Background: Niue's remoteness, as well as cultural and linguistic differences between its Polynesian inhabitants and those of the rest of the Cook Islands, have caused it to be separately administered. The population of the island continues to drop (from a peak of 5,200 in 1966 to about 2,100 in 2002) with substantial emigration to New Zealand, 2,400 km to the southwest. TOP OF PAGE

Niue
Niue is an exotic holiday destination, a coral island with clear water lagoons, lush rainforests, mysterious caves and spectacular cliffs.
Niue – Geography
Niue Island is part of Polynesia, located in the South Pacific, north-east of New Zealand. The island is one of the largest coral islands in the world with no sandy beaches, just limestone cliffs and covered on a quarter of its surface with virgin tropical forest. The local topography is marked by two major bays, the Alofi Bay and Avatele Bay and the coral reefs that surround the island. Due to its location, the island has a tropical climate with two seasons, average temperatures between 22 and 27ºC and important rainfalls especially in April. As a result of the limestone terrain there are numerous caves on the shores of the island but there are no rivers, streams or lakes, the island’s fresh water reserves being located right beneath its landmass.
Niue – Flora and Fauna
The island has a rich and very well preserved flora and fauna represented by a deep rainforest and numerous characteristic animal and bird species. All the natural beauties of these places can be admired in the Huvalu Forest Conservation Area and the Anono Marine Reserve.

Niue Geography Environment - current issues: increasing attention to conservationist practices to counter loss of soil fertility from traditional slash and burn agriculture Definition: This entry lists the most pressing and important environmental problems. The following terms and abbreviations are used throughout the entry:
Acidification - the lowering of soil and water pH due to acid precipitation and deposition usually through precipitation; this process disrupts ecosystem nutrient flows and may kill freshwater fish and plants dependent on more neutral or alkaline conditions (see acid rain).
Acid rain - characterized as containing harmful levels of sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxide; acid rain is damaging and potentially deadly to the earth's fragile ecosystems; acidity is measured using the pH scale where 7 is neutral, values greater than 7 are considered alkaline, and values below 5.6 are considered acid precipitation; note - a pH of 2.4 (the acidity of vinegar) has been measured in rainfall in New England.
Aerosol - a collection of airborne particles dispersed in a gas, smoke, or fog.

    Geography of Niue
    Niue is an elevated atoll shaped like a two-tiered wedding cake with two terraces rising from the sea. It's one of the largest uplifted coral islands in the world (though 1,196-square-km Lifou in New Caledonia is much bigger). The lower terrace rises sharply, creating the 20-meter coastal cliffs that virtually surround the island. Inland, a second terrace rises abruptly from this coastal belt to a central plateau some 60 meters above the ocean. A fringing reef borders much of the coast, but in places the ocean breakers smash directly into precipitous cliffs. Faulting during the island's uplifting has created the chasms and crevices that are Niue's greatest attractions. Water dripping from their ceilings has added a touch of the surreal in the form of stalactites and stalagmites. Cruise ships and yachts sailing between the Cook Islands and Tonga sometimes stop for snorkeling at Beveridge Reef , 200 km southeast of Niue and a possession of the country. Beveridge's horseshoe-shaped lagoon is easily entered through a pass on the west side. Like an oasis in the desert, this flourishing ecosystem is surrounded by vast expanses of open sea.
