Conserving Samoa's Natural Heritage

Who We Are

We are a Samoan non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting the conservation of Samoa’s natural heritage and helping the public reduce their environmental impacts and develop greener lifestyles. We work collaboratively with communities, the Government and NGO partners to raise awareness on the state of, and threats to, Samoa’s environment and biodiversity. We also teach the public and youth groups about our natural heritage and the practical actions we can take to promote species and ecosystem conservation and to reduce our environmental footprint.

Samoa’s natural heritage is under threat from invasive species, over-exploitation, habitat degradation, pollution and climate change. We tackle these threats by raising awareness, undertaking research and implementing practical conservation actions with communities and partners.

If you or your group would like to implement a project that aims to protect or conserve Samoa’s natural heritage or promote greener lifestyles please contact us so we can explore how we can work together. You can join us as an individual, a family, group or organisation. If you are a company that cares about the environment, become one of our corporate partners and we will work with you to reduce your environmental footprint.

Together, we can save our natural heritage, reduce our environmental impact and keep Samoa clean, green and beautiful for all Samoans- people and native biodiversity alike!

    I am one of Australia’s leading ornithologists and I have observed more birds in the Pacific, than any other person. My wife and I recently spent a week birding at the Dave Parker Eco Lodge. On the 12th September, this year, I was bird watching from the balcony of my room, when I observed a Tooth-billed Pigeon, very well indeed. It was one 1.30 in the afternoon, and the bird flew past me from left to right, at eye level, about 15 metres away from me. While at the lodge I had observed a great many Pacific Imperial Pigeons and many Fruit Doves. This bird did not look like any of those.

    The bird was rufous brown in colour, appeared to be quite chubby, with a markedly short tail, but flew very strongly. It was a bright and sunny day, and I had no doubt that the bird I observed was a Tooth-billed Pigeon.

    Loretta at Dave Parkers lodge, said that I needed to report this observation to you.

    Best wishes,

      Hi Chris,
      Thank you very much for reporting your observation. We are indeed grateful to this and for the details provided. We will email you for more information where needed if that would be ok with you. This observation will absolutely help us with our monitoring programs and especially the search for Manumea.
      Faafetai tele and have a wonderful day.
