Samoan environment forum : proceedings of the 2004 National Environment forum

Biodiversity Conservation

What stands out to you as you commute, or explore our beautiful peaceful Samoan island paradise which to many Europeans in years gone by meant Utopia? No, I am not referring to the hundreds of churches, some mock Baroque, and Gothic inspired, found throughout the isles. Instead, I have seen how tidy our people have become over the last decade or so. In this regard I salute and applaud them, well, especially those villages and urban communities which have embraced our Government's 'Keep Samoa Clean' awareness campaign.

Samoa's climate is typical of small tropical islands, geographically isolated from big landmasses. The climate is tropical and marked by a distinct wet and warm (November -April) and dry and cool (May - October) seasons. Temperatures are typically tropical (ranging from 24 - 32°C daily) and generally uniform throughout the year with little seasonal variation due to Samoa's near-equatorial location. The rainfall and humidity are usually high with the average annual rainfall about 3,000mm with approximately 66% of the precipitation occurring during the wet season.
