CEPF Social Assessment 1) Indigenous Peoples in the Project Area Tetepare at Over 12,000 Ha, the Tetepare Priority Region Is
CEPF Social Assessment Building the Capacity of the Solomon Islands Community Conservation Partnership: Strengthening a Model Component of Community-driven Conservation in the East Melanesian Islands 1) Indigenous Peoples in the Project Area Tetepare At over 12,000 ha, the Tetepare priority region is the largest uninhabited and unlogged island in the tropical Pacific. Nearly two centuries after headhunting and a mysterious disease forced the people to leave the island, the descendants of Tetepare formed the Tetepare Descendants’ Association (TDA). TDA is stewarding forest and marine ecological monitoring programs, as well as providing livelihood development initiatives, and successful scholarship programs for its members, currently numbering over 3,000. Members of TDA are scattered across the Western Province, but many can be found on the island of Rendova, adjacent to Tetepare. The Touo people are the predominant descendants of Tetepare and can be found in villages such as Lokuru, Baniata, and Rano. Overall, there are 12 regions across the Western Province represented by an Executive Member within the TDA. Kolombangara The Kolombangara Uplands priority region includes the area above 400m elevation on the island of Kolombangara, with a dormant volcano reaching 1779 m high. The traditional owners of Kolombangara are known as the Dughore people, and the island has a population of around 6,000. The lowlands of Kolombangara have been heavily and repeatedly logged, but a 19,400 ha conservation area of largely pristine forests has been declared since 2008 and is managed by the Kolombangara Island Biodiversity Conservation Association (KIBCA). Indigenous people on Kolombangara live in ten zones around the island, which are all represented at regular KIBCA meetings.

In reply address not the signer of this letter, but Bureau of Naval Personnel, Navy Department, Washington, D.C. Refer to No. 662 18 13 P-5323a-reg NAVY DEPARTMENT BUREAU OF NAVAL PERSONNEL Washington 24, D. C. 7 October 1944 Mrs. Katherine Agnes Heinrich Live Oak California Dear Mrs. Heinrich: The Navy Department has had numerous requests for information concerning the loss of the USS HELENA (CL 5O). An account of the exploits of that ship was written for publication. Believing that the relatives of the officers and men would like to have it, it was requested that it be reproduced. This Bureau is pleased to forward a copy herewith. It is believed that you will find strength and pride in the knowledge that the gallant fight waged by the officers and men of the USS HELENA against great odds in keeping with the finest traditions of the Navy. By direction of the Chief of Naval Personnel. Sincerely yours, A.C. Jacobs Captain U. S. N. R. Director of the Dependents Welfare Division Encl 1. NAVY DEPARTMENT HOLD FOR RELEASE IN MORNING PAPERS OF SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1943, NOT APPEARING ON THE STREET BEFORE 8 p.m (E.W.T.), OCTOBER 23, 1943 THE STORY OF THE USS HELENA Snatched from the sea and the steaming yap-infested South Pacific jungle, nearly 1,000 men of the lost USS HELENA today stand fit and ready to fight again. The story of their rescue by destroyers after their ship went down fighting to the end in Kula Gulf July 7, 1943, which has been told in part, like the history of the HELENA herself, will live always as an inspiration to new generations of American sea-fighters.

Project Update: April 2010 the Eastern Solomon Islands Comprise
Project Update: April 2010 The eastern Solomon Islands comprise the main islands of Guadalcanal, Malaita, and Isabel. These three are large oceanic islands, with varying degrees of habitat that support a diverse anuran fauna. Guadalcanal comprises swampy marshlands, and grasslands to the north, rolling hills, lowland rainforests, ridge forests, and high montane rainforests. Gaining access to forest areas on Guadalcanal has been much more difficult than other parts of the Solomon Islands, due to compensation demands and landowner grievances against large mining and prospecting companies. Location and Description of Sites A few locations were surveyed during the course of the fieldwork. These included at least four sites on Guadalcanal, and other sites on Gatokae, Vangunu, Kolombangara and Vella Lavella. Access to Malaita and Isabel was not possible during the course of the search due to landowner access and time. Guadalcanal survey We surveyed four areas on north Guadalcanal: (1) Betikama swamp; (2) upper Tina River forests; (3) Malukuna, an abandoned village site (700m asl), a ridge before Mt Popomaneseu (2,350 m asl); and (4) Tasulimasanga River Valley (1,100 m asl). Guadalcanal’s extremely diverse ecosystems are a result of the rugged topography. Gaining access to these remote forests was a challenge, not so much from the terrain, but from landowner consent and finding the right contacts. (1) Betikama Creek The Betikama swamplands are located behind the Betikama Adventist Collage on the outskirts of Honiara. Surveys were conducted here in 2008. Prior to this David Boseto, Clare Morrison and I also conducted an opportunistic search in September 2005. I further carried out subsequent random surveys 2006 and 2007.

Received: 31 May 2019; Accepted: 13 July 2019; Published: 17 July 2019 Abstract: Ongoing dietary transitions in the Solomon Islands has resulted in an over-reliance on commercially sourced foods, leading to food insecurity, and a subsequent rise in multiple forms of malnutrition. The aim of this study was to investigate the individual dietary diversity and food preferences of the adult population living in Auki, Solomon Islands. A cross-sectional study involving 133 adults was undertaken in the Auki district via an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Individual dietary diversity scores (DDS) were determined based on the results of a 24-h recall method. Overall mean DDS was 7.27 (range 2–12). Females and participants who lived outside the Auki town center had signiﬁcantly higher dietary diversity scores. Low consumption of a variety of nutritious foods within food groups and high consumption of energy dense processed foods, indicates that diet quality is likely limited in some of this population.

Ch 22: Tourism
22. Tourism Early tourists used the scheduled shipping services connecting the Solomon Islands to New Guinea, Australian and other South Pacific ports. Australia’s Burns Philp & Co. began to carry passengers on their trading vessels in the 1880s and established a route to the Solomon Islands in the mid-1890s. Many tourists (then called ‘round trip people’) travelled on these ships in the 1930s. Private yachts also began visiting the Solomons. Visitors without their own floating accommodation had to rely on the goodwill of local plantation owners and other residents. The earliest hotel was Elkington’s Hotel which operated between 1916 and 1934, along with a few other more primitive hotels, all on Tulagi. The Second World War intervened, and after the war the Woodford Hotel (which in 1966 was renamed the Mendana Hotel) began in Honiara; it is now Solomon Kitano Mendana Hotel. Other major Honiara hotels followed: Blum’s Hometell in 1964, which became Hibiscus Hotel, and is now King Solomon Hotel; Chan’s Honiara Hotel in Chinatown; and Pacific Casino Hotel, Iron Bottom Sound Monarch Hotel, and Heritage Park Hotel, all on the beachfront. Gizo Hotel was begun in the 1960s. Cruise ships have been visiting occasionally for over 50 years: P&O’s Oriana was the first in 1962, and now cruise ships regularly visit Gizo and Honiara. Commercial air services began in 1947, providing more direct access for tourists. Cultural festivals began to be held in Honiara in the late 1960s and 1970s and are now a drawcard to the provinces and to Honiara. The Solomon Islands Tourist Bureau has operated since 1970.
