Atolu consistit in fere tredecim insulis minimis ad orientem et una inter septentriones et occasum solis spectanti.

Taku lies about 250 km to the northeast of Kieta, capital of Bougainville, at the intersection of two shifting [[tectonic plate]]s, which are causing the atoll to sink. Its position is {{coord|4|45|S|157|2|E|}}. -->
The islands in the atoll are very low-lying, at most a meter or two above the high-tide mark. Their existence is under threat from two causes: first, because the tectonic plate on which the atoll sits is sinking; second, because the rise in sea level due to [[global warming]]. The combinations of these causes makes local sea levels rise at a rate said [wrongly?] to be 20 centimeters per year. In 2005, Richard M. Moyle, a lecturer at Auckland University, [wrongly] predicted that the sea's advance would extinguish the atoll's ability to sustain life within three years (i.e., by 2008): "A couple of years ago, I would have said five. Takuu families living elsewhere in Papua New Guinea will take in as many as they can, but with no single resettlement location, I can't see Takuu continuing to function as a community" (Wane 2005:10).-->▼

==Homines et Cultura==
Line 15 ⟶ 17:
The people of Takuu place great value on the retention of their indigenous practices and religious sites. To protect themselves from outside influences, since the early 1980s the islands have banned Christian missionaries and foreigners. Only four researchers have been permitted to spend time in the islands since then. This ban was lifted in the early 2000s, as young islanders who had lived and studied on the Papua New Guinea mainland returned to their homeland.
Traditional life continues on Takuu. Traditional thatched houses stand in crowded rows, so close to each other that the eaves touch. There are no trees on the island, apart from coconut palms. The main street serves as a marae (a space for ritual ceremonies). Music remains a fundamental part of local life
