The Aleipata Islands lie off the south-eastern end of Samoa's second largest island Upolu. All four of the Aleipata islands were visited (two for the third time since 2000) to record their fauna. Our earlier visits in 2000 and 2001 were to investigate the feasibility of eradicating rodents from Nu'utele island and to record the terrestrial fauna. One of the recommendations from our second visit was to investigate the fauna on Fanuatapu and Namu'a islands.
