SPREP country report : Western Samoa

The Western Samoan Government (WSG) has approved
and now awaits printing of the Fourth Five Year Plan 1980-84.
The Plan, for the first timer contains a chapter (14) specifically
on the environment, "Environmental Planning for Development", which
tends to be more descriptive of problems than prescriptive of
action to be taken on environmental issues. The WSG is possibly
the sole island signatory to the draft "Convention for the
Conservation of Nature in the South Pacific 1976" for which
Western Samoa is the depository. The WSG is also in receipt
(c.1978) of an inter-departmental recommendation on environmental
policy.
