National inventory of electrical and electronic wastes in Samoa in the year 2009
The objectives of this document include managing a number of key forest areas where the bird is still found, eliminating hunting as a threat to the birds, establishing new populations of the birds, improving our understanding of the bird through ecological research, investigating captive breeding as a conservation tactic, increasing public awareness and education about the need for bird conservation, promoting the partnerships that are necessary to implement the plan and establishing a special bird recovery group to monitor and guide plan implementation.
The Framework has been developed within the context of Samoa’s national development priorities and takes into account the need to protect the environment and human health.
Please submit new information or corrections as the reviews will be updated annually.
The Waterfront Plan will be used by the Government of Samoa as a cohesive and strategic plan with clear economic and social benefits to leverage investments from potential investors and development partners.
