Picture: SIKELI QOUNADOVU WHEN they were young, they feared going to Monuriki Island because according to their elders it was haunted by a monster with strange looking claws and razor sharp teeth. Back then, children of Yanuya Village were scared to travel to the island, for fear of being eaten alive by the monster. Sunset over Monu and Monuriki Island. Picture: SIKELI QOUNADOVU That was the story shared by Semisi Naceva, the leader of the tokatoka Vunaivira. This week, we take you on a new journey of discovery. We find out more about Monuriki Island, and how its habitat, one of the country's endemic species, is now earmarked as an income generating project. It is a discovery of the western banded crested iguana that is only found on the island. What was first thought of as a monster is, according to Mr Naceva, one of the friendliest species. Monuriki is an uninhabited tiny island off the west coast of Viti Levu in a group of islands known as the Mamanuca Islands. Monuriki is a five-minute boat ride from the nearest village of Yanuya on the island of Yanuya. The island is of volcanic origin and is a 38-acre haven with steep rocky terrain rising to more than 200 metres above sea level. Garlanded by white sandy beach and crystal clear waters that glitter like a sea of diamond, Monuriki is home to the crested iguana that is only found in Fiji.

Weston, CT Phoenix Mt. Lakes, NJ Vancouver Toronto Fiji is emerging as the hot spot in the Pacific. Tourist arrivals are booming and many resorts are reaching full capacity. The introduction of low cost airlines, coupled with the appeal of Fiji as both a safe haven and one of the few remaining unspoiled tourist destinations is driving demand. Developers and investors appear enthusiastic about market prospects. This enthusiasm is also being stimulated by the Fiji Government, which is offering generous financial and tax incentives to encourage new development. Situated in the heart of the South Pacific, the Republic of Fiji comprises 333 islands. Sunny, unique and friendly, the Fiji Islands are one thousand miles of pristine white sand beaches, fabulous coral gardens and azure lagoons. Fiji enjoys a tropical maritime climate, without undue extremes of humidity and temperature. The population of Fiji is approximately 832,000 people, most of whom live on the two main islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu and comprise a combination of native Fijians (53%), Indians (40%) and a balance of other races. In 1970 Fiji was granted independence and became a self-governing nation within the Commonwealth, after 96 years of British rule.
