Third South Pacific National Parks and Reserves Conference Apia, June-July 1985
This will be hosted by the Government of Western Samoa over the period 15 June-6 July 1985. One central theme of the conference will be traditional conservation knowledge and practice and its implication for conservation policy, park management and sustainable resource development. The National Parks concept of developed countries is not always appropriate in the South Pacific where the issues of custom and tribal ownership vitally affect management of land and water. Knowledge of customary practices is disappearing and needs to be revitalised. Protected area management must consider not just modern scientific knowledge about nature conservation but also traditional ways of ensuring that adequate numbers of plants and animals survive. Delegations will be attending the conference from the 22 countries served by the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme.
