Travels through Central America, the Andes and Iceland followed by 17 years in Indonesia gave him a good understanding of volcanology, a boon to later educational tourism when explaining Savai'i to overseas visitors and student groups. His 2014 report on Samoa's Geological History was published in booklet form by the Samoa Tourism Authority as a Visitor's Guide - a guide summarising the main geological events that built the islands but with little coverage of individual natural attractions. This present article is an abridgement of the 2014 report and focuses on Savai'i. It is in three sections; an explanation of plate movement and hotspot activity for visitors unfamiliar with plate tectonics; a brief summary of Savai'i's geological history then an island tour with some geologic input when describing the main sites. It is for nature lovers who would appreciate some background to sightseeing.

  • Programme of Private Sector Forum
    SIDS are a diverse group of countries with uniquely different challenges, opportunities and priorities. But whatever their national goals and aspirations are, the common enabler to achieving them is through the power of genu- ine and durable partnerships. My own country is passionate about partnerships because it speaks to our history as an island nation and our journey UN PHOTO/MARK GARTEN in these uncharted waters of globalization. Partner- ships for Samoa is not just your ideological North- South dichotomy, it also encompasses SIDS-SIDS, South-South and triangular partnerships. Impor- tantly, it includes partnerships between SIDS as a group and their development partners, as well as private sector partnerships and public/private part- nerships. And remember, the private sector is the engine of growth, and partnerships should not be a monopoly of anyone particular group of partners.” – H.E. Mr. Ali’ioaiga Feturi Elisaia, Permanent Representative of the Independent State of Samoa to the United Nations The importance of the private sector is not a new phenomenon in the global discourse on SIDS. Ten years ago, the Mauritius Interna- tional Meeting on SIDS had also emphasised this role, calling for a strengthening of business and industry in SIDS in efforts to support their develop- ment aspirations. However, a fresh sense of urgency has been injected by the international community in the Rio+20 conference, which underscored that sustainable development can only be achieved with a broad alliance of people, governments, civil soci- ety and private sector, working together to secure the future.” – Mr. Gyan Acharya, Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS FORUM | 2 SATURDAY, 30 AUGUST 2014 07:30 OPENING CEREMONY (RESERVE PARK) Breakfast* • Arrival of Hokule’a; Polynesian Voyaging Society and Samoan cultural performance • Opening Prayer • Welcome remarks by Mr.
