Visit from Mr. David Fournier, Head of Cooperation for the Pacific Mission of the High Commission of Canada in Suva
The Samoa Conservation Society was honored to welcome Mr. David Fournier, Head of Cooperation for the Pacific Mission of the Canadian High Commission in Suva, Fiji. Canada is one of the main sponsors of the Kiwa Initiative, which funds several ongoing conservation projects in Samoa.
The Samoa Conservation Society team had the opportunity to show him the progress being made at project sites in Malololelei and O le Pupu Pue national parks, as well as at the Vailima Botanical Gardens, where we are actively working on plant and butterfly conservation.
The local project "Improving the management and restoration of O Le Pupu Pue National Park".
This ambitious project aims to:
- Improve the conservation status of O le Pupu Pue National Park through actions to restore and conserve threatened species.
- Increase the capacity and participation of local communities and the benefits of park management.
- Create a proof of concept to demonstrate new ways of sustainably financing protected area management in Samoa and the Pacific.
We thank Mr. Fournier for his interest in and support of our conservation efforts, and look forward to welcoming him back soon.
