Tree Planting

Samoa redoubles tree planting effort

The forests are under increasing threats from climate change to unsustainable land use and coastal erosion.

The Ministry of Natural Resources' Moafanua Tolusina Pouli said a variety of trees were grown as seedlings into tree saplings in a number of nurseries for planting.

He said his team at the forestry division was working closely with community groups and landowners and other departments to plant trees in different venues nationwide.
