    The Wider Image: At Tahiti’s Games site, Polynesians fight for

    Patrick Rochette, 63, a local member of the conservation community and other members of the local community walk along a beach at a 'Rahui' or restricted area in Teahupo'o, Tahiti, French Polynesia, August 4, 2024. Ten years ago the reef was struggling: Plagued by over-fishing and hit more frequently by damaging storms, a decision was made by the community to re-introduce a rahui over a 768-hectare area south of the village, banning fishing and other activities. "We Polynesians, in 15 or 20 years, if we don't do anything, there'll be nothing left," Rochette said. "We have to do it together, not just here, but the Pacific community has to do all of this together." REUTERS/Carlos Barria
