Graffiti in Kaiyuan harbour denounces the storage of radiactive waste in Lanyu island #109091617
Description
The small, highly biodiverse Lanyu island Orchid island was used for decades an storage site for radioactive waste from `mainland` Taiwan. This sparkled a resistance movement amongst Lanyu`s inhabitants, who fear the effects this could have upon their health and the island`s environment. Although the Taiwanese government claims that it has stopped shipping nuclear residues to the island, there is still a functioning nuclear warehouse on the southwestern tip of the island.
