This a blog about my journey in becoming a leader in conservation issues based in Fiji. Currently I’m working in the Lomaiviti group of islands with the Fiji NGO ‘NatureFiji‘. Although the ‘conservation’ is important, it’s actually my ‘journey’ in becoming a practising conservationist that I feel I want to blog about more. In part it’s a journal for me, and in part I definitely think there are stories that I’m involved in, that are worth sharing.

For those that have read the book ‘Collapse’ this will not be a surprise:

What did the Easter Islander who cut down the last palm tree say whilst he was doing it? Did he shout “Jobs, not trees!”? Or: “Technology will solve our problems, never fear, we’ll find a substitute for wood”? – Jared Diamond, 2005

I believe part of my job is to ensure that my fellow Pacific islanders today cannot be judged to be stating the same kinds of sentiments paraphrased above.
