This was a great video. I do wish we could have heard King William speak a little bit. That being said, I just made a contribution to One Reef. I don't have a lot of money so it wasn't a huge donation or anything, but thanks for alerting me and everyone else to this organization. Maybe one day I will meet Willy myself. As someone with a masters degree in sociology, thinking about the problems Ant Atoll is trying to tackle is fascinating and daunting all at once.
I lived in Costa Rica for 9 years and loved it. I hated coming back, but mom needed me. That place looks even better. It's like some of the little towns in Central America but more remote. Living there is not easy I'm sure. But I would probably want to stay forever if I went.
I don't understand how this channel doesn't have 4 million subscribers. You're one of the best "In the weeds" film-makers I've come across. If you truly do read every comment, know that one reef is going to be a few dollars wealthier today thanks to you. Despite my wallet's best wishes.
I lived on Pohnpei in the early 1990's for about 5 years - and was fortunate to visit Ahnd (Ant) atoll a few times - including an overnight visit. Dolphins escorted us through the channel and into the lagoon, and we tasted some of that amazingly sweet coconut crab. An experience I will never forget!
I want to go out into the world and practice my specialty in far-off places that might really need it, once I become a doctor. Thank you for showing us these places, Rare Earth, and helping us get to know their people. Maybe Ant Island will find itself with a Psychiatrist, one day. Your videos are certainly inspiring, and riveting.
HAHa, I loved Ahnt when I was there last year, I actually took a kayak from where you stay and paddled across the Lagoon towards the mouth of the channel. Took me 3 and a half hours round trip. :)
Hi Evan. I have been a fan of Rare Earth for a long time. Some of the videos stuck with me deep... This one made me realize I may be a bigger fraction of your viewership, than any other - speaking of channels I care about. So I joined your patreon (initials V.H.), saw the wonderfull "postcard" option, then chickened out a little and set a limit to 2 donations/month... I will be absolutely thrilled, getting a postcard from you, if only from time to time. Wish you all the best and Merry Christmas.
Honestly I'm thrilled you just show up to watch. Please never feel any negativity in any respect for helping the channel it means so much to us that you're even here at all.
Because, people now eagerly watch programs about brutal murders and they leave comments saying how they loved the program, without any empathy for the victims. People are so desensitised to murder.
It's so strange watching all your Micronesia videos while living in the Marshall Islands. The beaches look so familiar, I could just go outside and see the same thing.
this channel has been one of the greatest joys ive experienced recently. im very glad i stumbled upon it. it has been a constant way to end a night on a good note. the story telling and stories always bring me back wanting the next and the next, and most of it: this series makes me want to dream and believe in those dreams because this truly is rare earth
Your Balkan series was fantastic. How you grasped the intricacies of the history and culture was phenomenal - I guessed that you must've lived there for some time. But, after following your other content since then, I realized your work has been consistently great for all these different places, I really appreciate your work/passion, thank you!
You're doing amazing work. I'm currently a graphic design and photography student and I aspire to move around on our little space ball freely while being part in uncovering amazing stories such as these. After I'm done studying I would also like to pick up journalism and give social media a second chance. I've been watching your stories for almost 5 years now and you have inspired me a lot. I consider you to be my number 1 favorite channel and I want to make a difference and leave my mark like you did. Thank you! :)
This is my first year with your site and I've watched almost all of the videos from oldest to latest. Your Micronesia segment is my absolute favorite for personal reasons. Thank you for bringing this amazing part of the world and it's people to your stage! One Reef has a new social media follower and my donation. Cheers ~
If someone hadn't ever watched youtube, I would show some of your videos to underscore the quality videos on offer. It's simply some of the best videos here.
I could send you one of my artistic Postcards. Do you happen to have a P.O.Box that I could send it to? (This Offer is serious, if you provide me with an address you will receive it.)
One of the few channels I have notifications on for and part of an even smaller group I signed up on patreon for. I always appreciate the content and the effort put into the stories
I adore your content for the reason I feel I’d never see these kinds of places, events, and tragedies without it. I hope you’re able to continue doing what you do for as long as you’re able and willing to. Videos like these make me wish I was rich. Being able to simply give these people something like the gymnasium they’d like, or assistance with repopulating the island. Without asking for anything in return besides seeing their smiles. Maybe someday.
Just Thankyou for being there. Thankyou for this years work, it has been amazing. And thank you to Kata, I hope she finds her cats. I would like to go to Ant, it has been a hard year for me. Great video. I look forward to the next.
fell in love with ur content a few years back now, thank you for keeping that love alive through the work ure doing. up the algorithm, lets do our part in making the world a better place
Evan thank you for the work that you do and the work it takes to get your videos out there. Your channel is such a refreshing calm meditative pause from the rest of UA-cam. You've cultivated a community here where we think about giving thanks for a video. Something, frankly in our binge watching, mass video producing culture, hasn't crossed my mind in a long time. Thank you for reminding us in the best way possible to give thanks ✨ cheers to you, your team, and to Ant!
Love your work mate, it’s important and it is commendable. Send my humble regards to the King and his wise Queen, they are the greatest of kings and Queens and are trustees of this world’s greatest treasures.
What a compelling story... I hadn't heard of OneReef and their work, which aligns directly with my values. I'm pleased to have found a new opportunity to make a difference! I may be in touch after I learn more about OneReef, but your essays about Micronesia have sure caught my attention.
I still love coming across your videos. It's either a commonly known story from a different perspective, or something you wouldn't normally find unless you went looking.
I am so glad that the concrete monster has not landed on Ant. I would go there, I was raised in Hawaii. Ant, the newer and better Hawaii.....the one they didn't ruin. Blessings to you all on Ant Island, may your days be long and your nights be cool. love from Wisconsin, USA.
@@westrim No one said Kauai anything. I said Hawaii. You can easily look at a map and see there are several islands. And I did not say there was anything wrong with them. I pointed out that these are uncommon, less developed and therefore better. Have you ever gone anywhere?
@@angelinvocon I said Kauai, and what process of thinking leads you to think that a person who knows about Kauai doesn't have at least general knowledge about the major islands of the Hawaiian island chain? It's hard to square your saying that "there's nothing wrong with them (presumably the Hawaiian islands)" when you smack talk them. So I repeat my question, in greater detail; you speak of all the concrete in Hawaii, but Kauai still has a fairly rural feeling outside of Lihue. So what's wrong with Kauai? Just the fact that there ARE more than a handful of people living there? Nevermind that it's dozens of times bigger than Ant, of course. Hawaii has dozens of those islands too, they're just not open for general habitation. It also has other minor islands like Ni'ihau, with a grand total population of around 100. If you're just lamenting that you're not rich/lucky/timely enough to end up on a sparsely populated island or even one of your very own, well, you're in good company. But crapping on the Hawaiian islands without discretion as a "concrete monster" well, that's just unfounded, rude, and not really fair outside of Oahu (and maybe Maui, but I never went there, and concrete doesn't fit my impression of the island).
@@westrim I was raised in Hawaii and you are a troll, lol. Oh, for your information Kauai is the island of the Elelule, or royalty and a sacred place. Take your ignorance and go away.
This video was even cooler than the last one. This King is the type of person the world needs. I would give my services to them as a network technician if it was in their interest. I could see some use for security/monitoring/etc.
All I had ever read about 'Ant' is that it was uninhabited. I wonder if any ants live there. I am feeling very glad to have made this vicariously vivid video-visit.
I'm going to defend my current King and remind people Charles III is famously an avid gardener & dedicated farmer who did a lot of the actual, physical work to build up the gardens of his estates, & does the work of actually running his farms - & put out his own wealth to build thousands of new, traditionally built homes in the royal Duchy of Lancaster. So he also acts the good King in some ways, like this King. So I'm also going to applaud this King, this Rosha: He's ruling the right way, the true kingly way, looking forward for his people. I can only wish him and his the best of luck. Love this channel, what you l've done with it, and all the fantastic stories you've brought to light.
Thanks for another great video Evan. Your series has been my favorite for many years now! As someone dedicated to conservation of tiny islands and atolls that nobody has ever heard of, these recent videos have been especially exciting to watch. I really hope you can make it out to Palmyra Atoll sometime. (I can help you get in touch with the right people if you're interested)
Beautiful. Thank you for all the work you're doing to help bring attention to the vibrant pockets of human culture struggling to survive in a world dominated by global capitalist consumerism
What good king. I've never heard of any royalty wanting to take a shovel and make a soccer field. The ones I see in media go to galas and hang out with ultra rich people.
From 2015 to 2018 I spent quite a bit of time on Guam working at a NASA site. While I was on the island I met quite a few workers who were from Pohnpei and Yap. One Sunday at church I met some folks who were from Chuuk who were passing through on their way to Manila. They were all wonderful folks and I was better for having met them. Good luck to King William!
Unfortunately I have suffered a financial setback/upset ; I hope to keep suporting you but am not sure if I will be able to do so at any particular time from now on . Please everyone take care of yourselves and loved ones ! Evan and kata please send the Rhosa and his people my best wishes and prayers .
I am lucky to have found this Video - LOVE all the "unspoilt" places in the Pacific ....... and wherever such still exist on the Planet. Now, I have to see HOW I can try to get to visit this unspoilt place for a few days?
It's a really, really high bar, but I think your videos from the FSM might be my absolute favorites from this channel. Also, thank you for avenging Amelia Earhart.
This channel does incredible work. I hope one day to be able to do something approaching the good you do. And I hope that if I ever do get do at least visit this amazing island, that I'm able to do something good while I'm there. I'm going to keep trying.
I hope OneReef has been enjoying their thank-you letters, I’ll make sure to thank them and Rare Earth (even if I am a month late). Thank you Evan, Kata, King William and anyone else who helped make this video fun to watch.
Thank you for your series, I have to admit you part of the inspiration for me to travel, I've been to 41 countries, and I am going to Antartica the end of next year. One place I hope you go is Uganda. When I was there, they were enforcing mandatory covid shots with armed traffic stops, as I was one of the first groups of people to come there after restrictions were raised.
Hi! you Are my FAVORITE content creator in youtube and i do love the nature too. right now i live in iran and i can not help "one reef" financially, But i'm in process of immigrating to canada and i will help them as soon as i get a stable income in canada. Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for all of the great content, its one of the few things that gives me a little bit of faith in humanity! How does one manage to get to Ant? I would love to be able to go and help. I know others who would love to too!
The most humble monarch I've ever heard of. William Hawley's story reminds me of the Afro-Bolivian Monarchy, a ceremonial chiefdom officially recognized by the Bolivian government in 2008, and led by King Julio Pinedo. This dynasty arose among imported enslaved African people who were put to work in Bolivia. One of these slaves was recognized by his fellow enslaved people as belonging to one of the African royal families, and upon emancipation they rallied around him as a leader in his community. Today King Julio runs a small store and farm in his village of Muruata, deep in the Andean jungles of Bolivia. Though he lacks any official power, he serves as an ambassador of the historically marginalized Afro-Bolivian culture. The Afro-Bolvian Monarchy is the the only remaining monarchy within the Americas. If your journeys ever take you to Bolivia, @RareEarthSeries , you should definitely check it out!
Trivia: The coconut crab is reported to have the most powerful crustacean claw on the planet, with their larger left claws able to exert up to 1500 Newtons (over 337 pounds) of force.
I'm an aracnologist part of a research group focusing on spiders and insects, i wonder if the king or onereef would be interested in collaborating with us on a research project?

Please give our warm regards and best wishes to King William Hawley and his family, and to his home and his people.
I am sure Rohsa Hawley would be happy to hear them.
Yours is one of the most unusual and worthwhile channels on UA-cam. Thank you for introducing us to Ant and its king!
There is something intimate about this. This is paradise, by every meaning of the word. Yet it is holding fast in an ever faster world.
I lived in Costa Rica for 9 years and loved it. I hated coming back, but mom needed me. That place looks even better. It's like some of the little towns in Central America but more remote. Living there is not easy I'm sure. But I would probably want to stay forever if I went.
And thanks for Evan for continuing to spread the word about all these overlooked and out of the way places.

I lived on Pohnpei in the early 1990's for about 5 years - and was fortunate to visit Ahnd (Ant) atoll a few times - including an overnight visit. Dolphins escorted us through the channel and into the lagoon, and we tasted some of that amazingly sweet coconut crab. An experience I will never forget!
This sounds like a great fit for mossy earth! They do ecological restoration projects just like what's needed here
@MossyEarth
Omg yeah. They would kill it there I think! *in a positive way
Hey, that's what I thought too. =)
Your videos are really one of a kind man, keep doing what you're doing dude, tell these people's stories because they need to be heard
I want to go out into the world and practice my specialty in far-off places that might really need it, once I become a doctor. Thank you for showing us these places, Rare Earth, and helping us get to know their people. Maybe Ant Island will find itself with a Psychiatrist, one day.

Micronesia desperately needs doctors. Volunteer there and I guarantee you'll be a beloved member of the community before you can blink.
The best doctor i ever had left to go to doctors without borders. Dr Emmanuel Dolph. Good doctors are rare. I havent seen him in nearly 20 years.
HAHa, I loved Ahnt when I was there last year, I actually took a kayak from where you stay and paddled across the Lagoon towards the mouth of the channel. Took me 3 and a half hours round trip. :)

I don’t understand why these types of video’s dont get more views. There always fascinating.
Because, people now eagerly watch programs about brutal murders and they leave comments saying how they loved the program, without any empathy for the victims.
People are so desensitised to murder.
Email sent! It's hard to find non profits worth giving to. Thank you for letting the world know, they are more than deserving.
Already a Patron. Donated to One Reef. Keep doing the hard work, chief.
It's so strange watching all your Micronesia videos while living in the Marshall Islands. The beaches look so familiar, I could just go outside and see the same thing.
Marshalls next up!
Your videos are always so interesting. I'm able to watch them over and over again.

Maybe start a fundraiser for a specific help with reef planting on Ant? Healthy reef in such place means marine diversity and food for locals.
That's what OneReef is, effectively.
These micronesia videos have been amazing. Keep up the good work.

I never knew you read every comment. This is far and above one of the best places I spend my time while avoiding coursework
Wow what a remarkable video. Appreciate the work you are doing. I wish this king and his court success in saving their home island.

As I watched the video I wanted to smile, cry and cheer all at the same time...a true king among men.
I don't think there's anything I could do to help them, but I'm sure some of your viewers can. All my best to them.
Been a subscriber for years, still here & still enjoying the content 🙂
Thanks for another great video Evan. Your series has been my favorite for many years now! As someone dedicated to conservation of tiny islands and atolls that nobody has ever heard of, these recent videos have been especially exciting to watch. I really hope you can make it out to Palmyra Atoll sometime. (I can help you get in touch with the right people if you're interested)
You are bringing HOPE back into a needy WORLD 🙏💞✊🏽THANK YOU
Beautiful. Thank you for all the work you're doing to help bring attention to the vibrant pockets of human culture struggling to survive in a world dominated by global capitalist consumerism
Again, THANK you for all these great videos! - A fantastic look into our beautiful, and sometimes strange world.
Easily my favorite UA-cam channel. Great work!
Here, take another well-earned pat on the back. Thank you for all the great stories you bring us!
A Wise King will put his people before Himself. Being a King is being a servant to ones people.
Watched this on Nebula and came back to comment here. Thank you for spreading the word like you do!
What good king. I've never heard of any royalty wanting to take a shovel and make a soccer field.
The ones I see in media go to galas and hang out with ultra rich people.
Always so well written. I love this channel I always keep coming back to it. Thank you Evan
Thx for filming it and sharing it. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you. For all the forgotten people of the world, thank you.
Great video as always, thanks for bringing attention to things that are beyond our usual headline.
Merry Christmas from Germany!
From 2015 to 2018 I spent quite a bit of time on Guam working at a NASA site. While I was on the island I met quite a few workers who were from Pohnpei and Yap. One Sunday at church I met some folks who were from Chuuk who were passing through on their way to Manila. They were all wonderful folks and I was better for having met them. Good luck to King William!
Wow, how precious. Your most beautiful episode ever.
Unfortunately I have suffered a financial setback/upset ; I hope to keep suporting you but am not sure if I will be able to do so at any particular time from now on . Please everyone take care of yourselves and loved ones ! Evan and kata please send the Rhosa and his people my best wishes and prayers .
I'm just happy to have you here - times are tough please don't feel anything wrong with just showing up to watch
in case you did not know AKA Chien Lu Anderman@@RareEarthSeries
Every video is such a great journey! Amazing storytelling
Well done sir. I would never have known of this. Thank you!
You do such wonderful work, Evan and Katya! I hope this wonderful King's land will thrive for many generations and wish I had money to give.
If you'd ask me I'd say this is the best channel on youtube, thank you.
I am lucky to have found this Video - LOVE all the "unspoilt" places in the Pacific ....... and wherever such still exist on the Planet. Now, I have to see HOW I can try to get to visit this unspoilt place for a few days?
The only way to spend the night is to help the Rohsa in a way that gets yourself invited. But I assure you, it's worth it.
this series has been really great. thank you
Outstanding, as always!
Great video, and thank you for sharing
It's a really, really high bar, but I think your videos from the FSM might be my absolute favorites from this channel. Also, thank you for avenging Amelia Earhart.
Their reef looks incridible. Great job
I hope the future of Ant is bright for the critters who will live on it
This is a great message. Thank you
This channel does incredible work. I hope one day to be able to do something approaching the good you do. And I hope that if I ever do get do at least visit this amazing island, that I'm able to do something good while I'm there. I'm going to keep trying.
What a beautiful plac. I would love to live in such a paradise..
Beautiful work...❤
I love this video, thank you for making it 💜
These videos helped me decide to change my major to marine biology
Gotta say, this was one of the most accurate uses of "this is rare earth".
A lovely location and story filled with hope
Nice! Thanks for sharing the story!
This was the most interesting video ive seen in a very long time
Loving this FSM series
I hope OneReef has been enjoying their thank-you letters, I’ll make sure to thank them and Rare Earth (even if I am a month late). Thank you Evan, Kata, King William and anyone else who helped make this video fun to watch.
Thank you for your series, I have to admit you part of the inspiration for me to travel, I've been to 41 countries, and I am going to Antartica the end of next year. One place I hope you go is Uganda. When I was there, they were enforcing mandatory covid shots with armed traffic stops, as I was one of the first groups of people to come there after restrictions were raised.
Wanted to hear the Kings voice , thanks for the last bit !
What a beautiful place.
Hi! you Are my FAVORITE content creator in youtube and i do love the nature too.
right now i live in iran and i can not help "one reef" financially, But i'm in process of immigrating to canada and i will help them as soon as i get a stable income in canada.
Thanks for the video.
Welcome to Canada Ali. Don't worry about donating take care of yourself and your family first please.
What a beautiful island and people.
Thank you so much for all of the great content, its one of the few things that gives me a little bit of faith in humanity!
How does one manage to get to Ant? I would love to be able to go and help. I know others who would love to too!
This channel is unite because things like this

The most humble monarch I've ever heard of.
William Hawley's story reminds me of the Afro-Bolivian Monarchy, a ceremonial chiefdom officially recognized by the Bolivian government in 2008, and led by King Julio Pinedo. This dynasty arose among imported enslaved African people who were put to work in Bolivia. One of these slaves was recognized by his fellow enslaved people as belonging to one of the African royal families, and upon emancipation they rallied around him as a leader in his community. Today King Julio runs a small store and farm in his village of Muruata, deep in the Andean jungles of Bolivia.
