EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

The preparation of the Natural Resource Inventory Report (NRI) is a requirement under the 

Environment Management Act (2005). Under the Environment Management Act (2005) 

s.13, the resource management unit is required to prepare the NRI report after consulting the 

important stakeholders such as the resource owners. Notably, this is the first NRI that has 

been prepared for Fiji. It is divided into six chapters and each chapter focuses on important 

aspects of the natural resources in Fiji. The major sub categories of NRI are the: 

Freshwater Resources 

Marine Resources 

Agricultural Resources 

Energy Resources 

Mineral Resources 

Chapter 3 focused on physical geography and soils of Fiji. The subsequent section analysed 

the native forests, logged forests, rehabilitated areas, protected forests, conservation areas, 

mangroves, and plantation forests. The third section focused on terrestrial flora and fauna of 

Fiji and the concluding section highlighted the gaps in existing literature in the field of land 

resource inventory of Fiji.

CHAPTER 3: LAND RESOURCES INVENTORY OF THE FIJI 

ISLANDS 

3.0 INTRODUCTION 

Fiji is situated in the South Pacific Ocean. It is about two thirds of the way from Hawaii to 

New Zealand. Notably, Fiji became independent in 1970 after nearly a century as a British 

Colony (United Nations, 2010). When compared to other large countries, Fiji is just a ‗small 

dot‘ in the world map. However, it is home to many endangered and endemic species of this 

world. Fiji has rich variety of flora and fauna and the discussion of land resource inventory 

of Fiji is incomplete without emphasis on terrestrial flora and fauna of Fiji. Against this 

backdrop, this chapter will analyse and examine the land resource inventory of Fiji. The 

introductory sections of this chapter will focus on physical geography and soils of Fiji. The 

subsequent section will analyse the native forests, logged forests, rehabilitated areas, 

protected forests, conservation areas, mangroves, and plantation forests. The third section 

will focus on terrestrial flora and fauna of Fiji and the concluding section will highlight on 

gaps in existing literature in the field of land resource inventory of Fiji. 

3.1 PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY 

Fiji islands comprise of more than 320 islands, about one-third of which are inhabited. It lies 

between 177° E and 178° W Longitude and 12° and 22° S Latitude (Secretariat of the Pacific 

Regional Environment Programme, 2004:1). Fiji islands include an Exclusive Economic 

Zone (EEZ) of 1.6 million km² and a land area of 18,333 km 2 (Secretariat of the Pacific 

Regional Environment Programme, 2004:1). Suva is the capital of Fiji. Many of the Fiji 

islands have low-lying coral structures with limited soil and water, the majority of the land is 

on continental-like volcanic islands that rise to well over 1000 metres in elevation 

(Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, 2004:1). Notably, the larger 

volcanic islands are characterised by steep, mountainous country, deeply incised by rivers 

and streams, supporting a wide variety of ecosystems with significant areas of natural forest 

and coastal and marine ecosystems including mangrove forests and coral formations 

(Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, 2004:1). The islands are 

bordered by an extensive system of fringing and barrier reef including the Astrolabe Reef, the 

third largest barrier reef structure in the world (Secretariat of the Pacific Regional 

Environment Programme, 2004:1). The climate is tropical with an average annual 

temperature of 26 o C and relatively heavy annual rainfall, especially on the windward sides of 

the larger islands (Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, 2004:1). The 

average annual rainfall ranges from 1800 - 2600 mm. Fiji is considerably richer in natural 

resources than its Polynesian and Micronesian neighbours (Secretariat of the Pacific Regional 

Environment Programme, 2004:1). There are areas of tropical rainforest containing valuable 

timbers, alluvial plains rich in soil, cool high uplands suitable for temperate produce, and 

commercially viable mineral deposits, fish, and other marine resources (Secretariat of the 

Pacific Regional Environment Programme, 2004:1). Table 3.1 and figure 3.1 shows physical 

characteristics of the Fiji Islands.

3.2 SOILS OF FIJI 

Studies confirm that 65% of soils have been developed on steep slopes (over 21 o ), 20% on 

gently undulating and hilly land (4-21 o ) and 15% on flat land (under 4 o ) (Leslie, 1997 as 

cited in Macfarlane, 2009). Lowland (below 600 m, mean annual temperature over 22 o C) 

soils are formed on beach sands, marine marshes, poorly and well-drained alluvia, highly 

organic parent material, acidic and non-acidic terraces and peneplains (Macfarlane, 2009). 

Further, soils from lowland rolling and hilly terrain are formed from young and weathered 

volcanic materials, volcanic ash over reef limestone, calcareous tuffs and marls and from 

basic, intermediate and acidic geologies (Macfarlane, 2009). Upland soils (over 600 m, mean 

annual temperature 15-22 o C) are formed on recent poorly and well-drained alluvia, raw 

volcanic materials and basic rocks (Leslie, 1997 as cited in Macfarlane, 2009). Low 

available soils such as sculpture, potassium, copper, molybdenum are the most likely limiting 

chemical attributes of grazing land soils (Macfarlane, 2009). Importantly, the most fertile 

soils are in the floodplains of the Sigatoka, Rewa, Nadi, Ba, Navua and Labasa rivers and 

these soils are generally derived from basic volcanic parent material (Macfarlane, 2009). 

3.3 FORESTS OF FIJI 

During 2006-2008, the Natural Forest Inventory (NFI) was carried out in Fiji. The outcome 

of the NFI was new forest definitions for forests in Fiji. In particular, under the new forest 

definitions the following new definitions were incorporated: 

Closed forest-Includes the former ‗Dense and Medium Sized Forest‘. 

Open Forest-Includes the former category of ‗Scattered Forest‘. 

Non-Forests and Inland Water Bodies- These are now calculated for the first time and 

thus did not appear in the 1991 data.

3.4 NATIVE FORESTS 

Native forests are subdivided into 2 major categories which include protection forests and 

multiple use forests (Ministry of Forest, 2006:9). Table 3.3 and figure 3.2 shows the 

proportions of each of the categories of forest types.

Table 3.3 shows major native forest types in Fiji. Out the total percentage of forests present 

in Fiji, 64.1% are Multiple Use forests and 35.9% are Protection Forests. Natural forests also 

include Multiple Use Forests and Protection Forests. 

Figure 3.2: Major forest types at December 2006 

Source: Created by Author, (2010). 

Over 80% of Fiji‘s native forests are communally owned (Ministry of Forest, 2006:9). This 

poses a great challenge to the management of native forests as the rights to the resource rests 

with the forest owners but legislation on how the resource is to be utilized rests with the state 

(Ministry of Forest, 2006:9). This challenge is even greater when dealing with issues of 

protected areas, as the state has to define what constitute a protected forest (Ministry of 

Forest, 2006:9). Under Fiji‘s National Land Use Policy land classification; 67-72% of Fiji‘s 

forests are in rough terrain and 13-17 percent are under medium terrain; while only 16% are 

under easy or relatively flat terrain (Ministry of Forest, 2006:9). 

3.4.1 WOODED LANDS 

Wooded lands include dry areas of gully forests and bits and pieces of re-growing tree stands 

in agricultural and grazing lands (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 

2010). Table 3.4 shows forest areas derived from calibrated forest area statics of FRA 2010 

categories.

Table 3.4 shows forest areas derived from calibrated forest area statics of FRA 2010 

categories. The calibrated forest area statics encompasses areas of Closed Forest, Plantations 

(Pine and Hardwood) and 70% of Open Forest. The other wooded land (OWL) is majority 

20% of open forest. The other land with tree cover (OLWTC) is 10% of Open Forest and 

Coconut plantations.

Table 3.5 shows national class forest classification in Fiji. Table 3.5 shows that in 2010 the 

forecasted ‗Closed Forest‘ are 565.8406 hectares, ‗Open Forest‘ are 388.184 hectares, ‗Pine 

Plantations‘ are 108.026 hectares, ‗Hardwood Plantations‘ are 68.48 hectares, ‗Coconut 

Plantations‘ are 27.568 hectares, ‗Non-Forests‘ are 685.679 hectares and finally the data for 

‗Inland Water‘ is not available for 2000, 2005 and 2010. 

3.4.2 NATURAL FORESTS 

Forests are defined as land spanning more than 0.5 hectares with trees higher than 5 meters 

and a canopy cover of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these thresholds in situ 

(Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2010). It does not include land 

that is mainly under agricultural or urban land use. There are two categories of forests under 

the national class of forest classification and definitions. ‗Closed Forest‘ encompasses of 

natural forest with crown cover of trees and/or ferns 40-100% and ground coverage by, palm 

and/or bamboo over 20% (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, 2010). 

Further, ‗Open Forest‘ encompasses of natural forest with crown cover by trees and/or ferns 

10-40% and ground coverage by palm and/or bamboo 50-80% (Food and Agriculture 

Organization of the United Nations, 2010). According to table 3.5, the Forecasted National 

2 Data is not available for these years 

15

Class Forest Classification in Fiji shows that in 2010 the forecasted area of ‗Closed Forest‘ is 

565.8406 hectares and ‗Open Forest‘ is 388.184 hectares (Food and Agriculture Organization 

of the United Nations, 2010). 

3.5 LOGGED FORESTS 

Logging is becoming a growing concern in the South Pacific Island Countries and Fiji is not 

an exception to this man contributed phenomena. Forests have been continuously removed in 

Fiji to provide space for industrial growth. Industrial revolution in Fiji is taking place in Fiji 

at the expense of degradation of natural environment from logging practices. Approximately 

90% of ‗Unexploited Production Forests‘ and 83% of all ‗Fijian Forests‘ are under the 

customary ownership in Fiji. All negotiations for undertaking logging practices for industrial 

use is done by Native Land Trust Board (NLTB) (Chatham, 2010). Essentially, the 

government runs a number of institutions primarily for the purpose of educating communities 

on the importance of sustainable forests resource management (Chatham, 2010) 

. 

Furthermore, around 15,000 hectares of natural forest have already been harvested in Fiji 

(Chatham, 2010). Essentially, logging is carried out using a selection system. However, 

there are very little post harvest management systems in place to foster re-planting of the 

logged areas (Chatham, 2010). Usually in the case of Fiji the logged areas become an 

essential ground for undertaking industrial activity. The Fiji government has made important 

achievements in sustainable forest resource management (Chatham, 2010). Government of 

Fiji was able of achieve sustainable forest resource management by using ‗National Code of 

Logging Practice‘ (Chatham, 2010). 

3.6 REHABILITATED AREAS 

Rehabilitated areas basically include the amenity plantation (Ministry of Forestry, 2010b). 

Amenity plantations are sites of or intended areas for plantations primarily for some amenity 

reasons such as reforestation, catchments rehabilitation, and landscape improvement 

(Ministry of Forestry, 2010b). Map 3.5 shows that rehabilitated areas (amenity plantations) 

in Fiji.

Amenity Plantation- is sites of or intended areas for plantations primarily for some amenity 

purposes such as reforestation, catchment rehabilitation, and landscape improvement. Timber 

production would be permissible to the extent compatible with the retention of the amenity 

value, but is not the primary purpose.

3.7 PROTECTION FORESTS 

Protection forests are areas of highly sensitive forests by virtue of their topography, climate, 

soil type or a combination (Ministry of Forestry, 2010). It also includes forest parks and 

forest conservation areas (Ministry of Forestry, 2010). Timber harvesting is prohibited in 

such areas but restricted to the collection of minor forest produce (Ministry of Forestry, 

2010). Conservation areas are a sub-component of the Protection Forest Category (Ministry 

of Forestry, 2010). The next section will discuss about conservation areas. 

17

3.7.1 CONSERVATION AREAS 

Conserved areas are areas of natural forest to be maintained in an undisturbed natural 

condition and for the preservation of specific biological values (Ministry of Forestry, 2010d: 

2). It includes the Forestry Department Nature Reserves, other legally established reserved 

and other areas of known unique, rare or consideration for formal preservation (Ministry of 

Forestry, 2010d: 2). This includes the formal proposals or recommendations for World 

Heritage, Nature Reserves or National Park Status (Ministry of Forestry, 2010d: 2). 

3.7.2 MANGROVES 

Mangroves stand in the shallow saltwater with propped up long, spindly roots sunk into the 

seabed (Joyce, 2007). According to Jennifer Hoffman (a marine biologist), mangroves live at 

a particular zone, that is, between ocean and land. Notably, even though the mangroves are 

used to living in such a condition, they can still be drown if the water level gets too high or if 

the water becomes too salty (Joyce, 2007). Mangrove areas were originally classified as 

conserved areas because of their high biological diversity, national and international 

importance (Ministry of Forestry, 2010d: 2). Table 3.6 shows Special Forest Resource 

Assessment 2010 categories.

Table 3.6 shows Special Forest Resource Assessment 2010 categories. Table 3.6 shows that 

‗Mangroves‘ were 86.908 hectares in 1990, 100.192 hectares in 2000, 107.904 hectares in 

2005 and 115.62 hectares in 2010. 

3.8 PLANTATION FORESTS 

Plantation forests are man made forests, established for the production of industrial wood 

includes all Mahogany and pine plantations. Table 3.7 shows areas of various forests types in 

Fiji based on National Classes.

3.9 TERRESTRIAL FLORA AND FAUNA 

The flora varies considerably between the leeward and windward side and is divided into the 

following categories: 

1. Beach flora: The common species found in Fiji beaches are similar to those species 

found on other islands of the tropical Pacific. These trees include Barringtonia 

asiatica, B. racemosa, Calophyllum inophyllum, Intsia bijuga, Hernandia peltata, 

Guettarda speciosa, Terminalia litoralis, Maniltoa grandiflora, Acacia simplicifolia, 

Leucacena leucocephala, Hibiscus tiliaceus and Pandanus odoratissimus. The shrubs 

that are found in the beach flora include Desmodium umbellatum, Cerbera manghas, 

Sophora tomentosa, Scaevola taccada var. sericea, Vitex trifolia, and Messerschmidia 

argentea. The creepers include Canavalia maritime, Ipomoea brasiliensis and Vigna 

marina. The grasses include Sporobolus virginicus and Thuarea involuta (Parham, 

1972:15). 

2. Mangrove Flora: The mangrove flora is found near the coasts, estuaries and river 

mouths. The common species of the mangrove trees are Bruguiera gymnorhiza, 

Rhizophora mangle, R. mucronata, Lumnitzera coccinea and Xylocarpus granatum; 

the creepers Derris trifoliate and Entada phaseoloides. The species of fern include 

Acrostichum aureum and the species of grass include Paspalum distichum (Parham, 

1972:17). 

3. Dry Zone Flora: The flora covering the dry zone areas includes the introduced grass 

Pennisetum polystachyon. The ferns include Pteridium esculentum and Dicranopteris 

linearis and the shrubs include Dodonaea viscose, Hibbertia lucens, Leucopogon 

cymbulae and Decaspermum fruticosum. The small trees are Marinda citrifolia, 

Alphitonia spp., Mussaenda raiateensis, Acacia richi, Syzygium richii, Casuarina 

equisetifolia. Pandanus odoratissimus and Cycas rumphii f. seemannii. Other 

19

essential species of flora on the dry zone are reeds. The species of reeds include 

Miiscanthus floridulus and the grasses, Sporobolus elongates, Paspalum orbiculare 

and Heteropogon contortus, Dichanthium caricosum and Panicum maximum 

(Parham, 1972:18). 

4. Intermediate Zone flora: Areas of intermediate zone flora include the mixed cover on 

the leeward hill slopes that includes the grasses and small shrubs and the windward 

sides are covered with light forest (Parham, 1972:19). 

5. Wet Zone Flora: The wet zone flora is usually found on the windward sides of the 

larger islands and the flora consists of forests. The combination of the forest trees 

varies and it is difficult to give a good picture of the flora that is present in the wet 

zone of Fiji. Some of the wet zone areas of Fiji consist of Agathis vitiensis and 

Dacrydium nidulum var. nidulum. The most common forest flora in addition to those 

mentioned are the trees Podocarpus neriifolius, Dacrycarpus imbricatus, 

Decussocarpus vitiensis, Calophyllum vitiense, Fagracea gracilipes, Intsia bijuga, 

Syzygium effusum, Serianthes Melanesia, Endospermum macrophyllum, Dysoxylum, 

spp., Burckella spp., Casuarina nodiflora, Myristica castaneifolia, Ficus spp., 

Elaeocarpus spp., Balaka spp. and the undershrubs include Psychotria spp., 

Cyrtandra spp., Alpinia spp., Freycinetia spp. In the wet zone flora numerous tree 

ferns are found as well as epiphytic orchids, mosses and giant lianes (Parham, 

1972:20). 

A study conducted by Balgooy (1971) as cited in Department of Environment (1997:6) stated 

that the vascular flora of Fiji is taken as an addition to the Indo-Malesian floristic province. 

Further, about 90% of all seed plant genera found in Fiji is present in New Guinea. Building 

onto this idea, Robinson (1975) as cited in Department of Environment (1997:7) suggested 

that more than 3500 insect species inhabit the Fiji group. Fiji has 400 spp. of 

macrolepidoptera. Fiji‘s cicada fauna consists of 15 species (Department of Environment, 

1997:7). Notably, there is no review of Fijian terrerstrial molluscs but Solem (1974) as cited 

in Department of Environment (1997:6) records 58 species for Viti Levu. The Convention on 

Biological Diversity 1997 National Report to the Conference of the Parties highlights that 

there are 55 terrestrial species of breeding birds in Fiji as cited in Department of Environment 

(1997:9). Fiji‘s only indigenous mammals are bats of which there are six known species, 

four of which are megachiropterans and two microchiropterans. Fiji's wholy terrestrial reptile 

fauna consists of 27 reptile species as cited in Department of Environment (1997:9). Two 

indigenous amphibia, both endemic frogs of the genus Platymantis occur in Fiji as cited in 

Department of Environment (1997:9). 

3.9.1 BIRDS OF THE FIJI ISLANDS 

Birds are perhaps one of the most enigmatic groups of living creatures having evolved since 

the Jurassic period (150-200 million years ago) to exist in almost all the land-masses of earth. 

Their unique characters of wings, two feet, warm-blooded and egg-laying warranted their 

placement under the class Aves (phylum Chordata, sub-phylum Vertebrata). The exact 

number of living bird species is not known, but an estimate of around 10,000 species has 

been suggested. 

Birds are important ecologically, through pollination of wild and agricultural plants to 

dispersal of seeds to new environments. While some birds feed exclusively on plants, others 

are predators, feeding on small insects, reptiles, mammals, even other birds, such as the Fiji 

Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), the Swamp Harrier (Circus approximans) and the Fiji 

20

Goshawk (Accipiter rufitorques). From a human perspective birds were once commonly used 

for sending and receiving messages (homing pigeon [a variety of the Fiji feral pigeon] - 

Columba livia), for fishing (cormorant – Phalacrocorax spp.) and as food (eggs, poultry and 

guano). As vast distances covered by migrating birds (e.g. Pacific golden plover – Pluvialis 

fulva) they can become carriers of some diseases. Birds also make admirable flagships, totem 

to some indigenous communities and area also environmental indicators. There is a growing 

tourism in bird-watching throughout the world and Fiji‘s endemic birds are part of this 

tourism adventure. 

A summary of the historical account of Fijian birds can be found in Dick Watling‘s (2001) ‗A 

guide to the birds of Fiji & Western Pacific‘. Bird exploration of Fiji can be categorised in 

three phases. The first involves the early European exploration (1820s to late 1880s), which 

included the French explorer Jules Dumont d‘Urville, who collected a few specimens from 

Fiji. The US Wilkes Exploring Expedition followed with surveys from 1838-1842 with a few 

species noted. The second phase (1920-1940) included the Whitney South Sea Expedition, 

which is notable for applying scientific discipline in bird surveys. This made bird research 

more coherent than previous expeditions. The third phase began in the 1950s and has 

culminated in a modern treatise of the bird fauna of Fiji. There are numerous research 

activities on the birds of Fiji, including the latest on documenting the population of the only 

Fiji endemic nesting sea-bird the Fiji Petrel (Pseudobulweria macgillivrayi) coordinated by a 

local non-governmental organisation Nature Fiji (Mareqeti Viti). 

The bird biodiversity of Fiji is grouped into six categories (adopted from Birdlife 

International, 2006); namely, Native breeding land-birds (57 species and 3 extinct species); 

Introduced birds (11 species); Native breeding seabirds (19 species); Non-breeding migrant 

(and vagrant) seabirds (29 species); Non-breeding migrant (and vagrant) waders (22 species); 

Non-breeding migrant (and vagrant) land-birds (1 species). 

From an island perspective this is a fairly rich fauna with a significant proportion of endemic 

species. Thus a total of 142 bird species (including 4 extinct) are catalogued for the Fiji 

avifauna. 

BirdLife International survey undertaken in August 2008 failed to find the Red-throated 

Lorikeet. However, the team concluded that more resources are needed to undertake 

extensive research in order to find the lorikeet. In mid 2009, an expedition to find the elusive 

Fiji Petrel proved successful and for the first time scientists were able to capture images of 

the bird, as well as detailed descriptions of its flight and behaviour. A number of researchers 

have undertaken some research on the distribution of birds throughout Fiji. This includes 

Naikatini‘s research on forest birds (Naikatini, 2008). A few of Birdlife International‘s 

sponsored students have completed their theses on the following areas; namely, spatial 

relationships between forest birds and habitats in degraded and non-degraded forest, a 

comparative study of bird abundance and diversity in non-degraded and degraded midaltitude 

rainforests of the Viti Levu southern highlands. 

3.9.2 LAND MAMMALS OF THE FIJI ISLANDS 

Mammals of the class Mammalia belong to the phylum Chordata of the Animalia kingdom. 

They are characterised by many traits of which sweat glands (including mammary glands in 

female), air-breathing, and giving birth to live young (except the five species of monotremes 

that lay eggs). About 5,400 species in about 1,200 genera are known ranging from the 

smallest at 3 cm (a bat) to the largest at 33 m (blue-whale). The mammalian orders that are 

21

found in Fiji include Rodentia (mice, rats), Chiroptera (bats), Carnivora (dogs, cats, 

mongoose), Perissodactyla (horse), Certartiopdactyla (whales) and Primates (human). The 

Certartiopdactyla of Fiji is covered separately from the land mammals in this Inventory. The 

primates and some of the domesticated mammals (e.g. cattles, dogs, cats, etc.) are noted in 

this brief, although no detailed information is provided with regards to their status and 

diversity. 

Isolated islands with recent geological history such as those of Fiji do not have the diverse 

mammal fauna that occurs on continental landmasses. Fiji‘s land or terrestrial native 

mammals are few comprising entirely of six bat and flying fox species. Other non-native 

mammals were introduced by the early inhabitants of the islands (e.g. rats, pigs, dogs,) and 

subsequent voyages. Domestic animals (cattle, goat, deer, sheep) were introduced for various 

reasons, including economic agricultural development.

A survey of bats undertaken by Palmeirim et al. from 2000-2001 in over 30 islands provided 

the most up-to-date summary of the state of native bats. The Pacific Flying-fox (Pteropus 

tonganus) was considered of least concern, despite being a target for local consumption.

which is declining dramatically throughout the Pacific. 

3.9.3 TERRESTRIAL SNAILS AND SLUGS OF FIJI 

These caves harbour large colonies of N. macdonaldi. They are 

its only known roosts in Fiji and hold much of the global 

population of this species. 

The Islands of Fiji form part of the Micronesia-Polynesia biodiversity hotspot, which is 

recognised by the Conservation International as one of 25 key locations for conserving the 

world‘s biodiversity. A large proportion of the terrestrial fauna in this hotspot is endemic 

(unique occurrence of species within a limited geographic area) but the distribution and status 

of much of this unique fauna is poorly documented, particularly for the enormously diverse 

invertebrate groups. This lack of basic information severely limits our ability to conserve it 

and from this perspective alone documenting Fiji‘s terrestrial biodiversity resources are of 

global conservation importance. 

Globally, non-marine molluscs are in decline and the unique Pacific Island fauna is 

particularly threatened (Lydeard et al. 2004). Terrestrial mollusc research projects undertaken 

in Hawaii, Samoa, New Caledonia and French Polynesia have found very high levels of 

endemism but also alarmingly, many endemics are now under considerable threat from 

human development and introduced species (Hadfield 1986; Cowie 2000; Bouchet and 

Abdou, 2003; Brescia et al. 2008). Sadly despite this knowledge the diverse native and 

endemic terrestrial mollusc fauna of Fiji appears to be moving in a similar direction. 

Ecologically and historically, the Fijian fauna is primarily connected to areas of native forest, 

a fact vital to understanding how this unique fauna can be conserved only by protection of 

relatively large areas of native vegetation not only from land clearing but also from invasive 

species. 

Over the last 100 years the Fijian land snail fauna has been investigated by a very large 

number of overseas visitors (Barker, 2005) but basic identification and taxonomic 

information about them is quite difficult to locate and obtain. There is a vital need for more 

research in the areas of taxonomy and natural history, plus development of local access to 

information, user friendly identification tools to aid quick identification of highly threatened 

endemic species and high risk introduced species that may pose considerable threats to 

agricultural trade (crop pests) and human health (disease vectors). 

The terrestrial gastropod mollusc fauna of Fiji is rich and diverse consisting of at least 29 

families, 70 genera and 225 species of which 37 are known to be undescribed (Table 3.9). 

There are undoubtedly, undiscovered species plus according to Barker (2005) an additional 

11 recorded species are of unconfirmed status (Table 3.10). Based on the unpublished report 

of Barker (2005) several locations (e. g. Rotuma and many of the islands in the Lau Group) 

are obviously significant with respect to species conservation using the recent criteria (single 

species present within a taxon) adopted by Conservation International‘s Critical Ecosystem 

23

Partnership Fund. The most obvious priority location of these is the isolated island of Rotuma 

with 6 endemics species from 5 different families including the Pacific Island flagship 

partulid tree snails, a group designated as high priority by the IUCN Oceania for the Pacific 

Island region. Rotuma is without doubt a high priority because of the substantially increased 

extinction risk levels now associated with its imminent conversion to a registered port of 

entry for the Fijian Islands.

3.9.4 LAND SNAILS OF THE FIJI ISLANDS 

The land snail fauna of Fiji is rich and diverse consisting of at least 245 species that cover 72 

different genera and 28 families. There are undoubtedly new species to be discovered and 

described. Two hundred and sixteen of the known species are native (indigenous) of which 

167 are endemic (known only from Fiji). The fauna is thus characterised by 77% endemism, 

confirming the importance of the unique Fijian land snail fauna at a national, regional and 

global level. The majority, but not all, of the endemic species are found in native forest. 

In addition, there are 18 introduced species with variable risk levels to agricultural 

productivity, biodiversity loss or human and livestock health. Priorities for land snail species 

conservation assessment, quarantine, health and agricultural risk are provided. The 

consequences of not collating and utilising existing information includes risks to, unique 

biodiversity, human and livestock health, agricultural crop production and in turn will have 

potential economic implications for sustainable livelihoods and trade. 


recognized by Conservation International as one of 25 key locations for conserving the 

world‘s biodiversity. A large proportion of the land-based fauna in this hotspot is endemic (a 

unique occurrence of species within a limited geographic area) but the distribution and status 


invertebrate-animal groups. This lack of baseline information limits our ability to conserve it 

and from this perspective alone documenting Fiji‘s land invertebrate biodiversity resources 

are of global conservation importance. 

Globally, land snails are in decline and the unique Pacific Island fauna is particularly 

threatened (Lydeard et al. 2004). Land snail research projects undertaken in Hawaii, Samoa, 

New Caledonia and French Polynesia have found very high levels of endemism but also 

alarmingly that many endemics are either extinct or under considerable threat from habitat 

destruction, human development and/or introduced species (Hadfield 1986, Cowie 2000, 

2004, Bouchet & Abdou 2003, Brescia et al. 2008). 

25

The diverse native land snail fauna of Fiji appears to be moving in a similar direction. 

Ecologically and historically the Fijian fauna is primarily connected to areas of native forest, 

a fact vital to understanding that this unique fauna cannot be conserved without protection of 

relatively large areas of native vegetation from land clearing and invasive species, such as 

ants and predatory snails. These latter species are often accidently introduced by humanrelated 

activities such as logging, cattle farming, pig hunting and the movement of crop 

materials from one area to another. 

Over the last 100 years the Fijian land snail fauna has been investigated by a large number of 

overseas visitors and a few Fijian residents (see review by Barker, 2005). As a result of this 

we now have a draft checklist of the land species present in Fiji and an associated 

distributional database. Leading from this an annotated and illustrated catalogue to the Fijian 

land snail fauna is currently in progress (Barker & Bouchet, in preparation). In addition to 

this, collation of basic identification and biological information about Fiji‘s introduced land 

snails is now underway at the University of the South Pacific (Biology Division). It is 

expected that this USP project will produce fact sheets, a field guide and a web-based key to 

aid quick identification of introduced species that may pose considerable threat to agricultural 

trade (crop pests) and human health (parasite vectors). 

A Fijian land snail distributional database was developed by Landcare New Zealand and the 

Wildlife Conservation Society with the goal of using the spatial information species and 

communities to assist setting reservation priorities within the Fijian archipelago, and to 

determine the adequacy of environmental domain classifications as surrogates for biotic 

pattern (Barker 2003 & 2005). This work contributed to the ―Priority Forests for 

Conservation‖ network proposed by Olson et al. (2009). This ecological land snail work and 

the distributional database need to be merged and adapted more fully into the current Fijian 

government frameworks. 

There is also a need for local up-skilling and more research in the areas of taxonomy, life 

history and conservation biology plus strengthened development of local access to 

information in usable formats. 

According to Haynes (1998) land snails in Fiji are collectively referred to as ―sici vanua‖ or 

―sirikoko‖. Despite several common endemic and introduced species being relatively large 

(> 35 mm) there appears to be no specific Fijian names for different species. This does not 

result from a lack of historical presence in the environment but could be because snails are 

cryptic and predominantly nocturnal, not often being seen during daylight hours unless 

actively searched for in their daytime refuges. 

Land snails belong to the invertebrate animals a vast group of organisms noticeably neglected 

in our estimates of biodiversity even at a global level. The term land ‗snail‘ is used in this 

summary when referring to both ‗snails‘ and ‗slugs‘. ‗Snail‘ refers to a gastropod possessing 

a fully developed shell, capable of housing the retracted animal. ‗Slug‘ refers to the gastropod 

body form where the shell is reduced to the extent that it is no longer capable of housing the 

animal. Slugs are simply snails with a reduced or absent shell. 


different genera and 28 families (Table 1). Among these are 37 undescribed species (Barker 

2005; Barker & Bouchet, unpubl. data) but there are undoubtedly more species that await 

26

discovery. Additionally, Barker (2005) also records an additional 11 described species that 

are of unconfirmed status as their taxonomy is unresolved. 

Of the 245 species known for the Fiji Archipelago 216 are native (indigenous) of which 167 

are endemic (known only from Fiji). The fauna is thus characterised by 77% endemism, 

confirming the importance of the unique Fijian fauna at a national, regional and global level. 

In addition, there are 18 introduced species, comprising a mixture of tropical tramp species 

and a few introductions from further afield. 

How many of Fiji‘s native species are threatened is presently unknown however, what is 

certain is that without adequate information to enable species identification and limited 

knowledge on distributions and life history characteristics it is very hard to make informed 

decisions on conservation priorities. And without any conservation measures at all in place 

the words of the snail specialist Alan Solem in 1964 given below will undoubtedly soon be 

true. 

―The famed endemic land snails of the Pacific islands are restricted to the 

rapidly shrinking patches of native forest. In all too short a time the land 

snail fauna of the Pacific islands will consist solely of a homogeneous 

blend of the introduced forms …. It is with a real sense of sadness that I 

have attempted to chronicle for the terrestrial malacologist of 2020 the 

places where the living land snails of Polynesia and Micronesia 

originated!‖ Solem (1964). 

The majority of the Fiji Island native and endemic land snail fauna appears to be associated 

with native forest habitat (Table 2). However thirty-five members of three different families 

(Assimineidae, Ellobiidae and Truncatellidae) are associated with supralittoral or high 

intertidal habitats. According to Barker (2005) thirty-one of these 35 ―high intertidal‖ species 

are native and this includes six endemic species (Table 3). Four additional species of ―high 

intertidal‖ land snail are described but of unconfirmed taxonomic status. 

Away from the ocean Fiji‘s land snail fauna also differs in its habitat location, for example, 

30 species (17% of snail species for which data is available) are generally found to be 

arboreal (in vegetation above ground level) while 137 species are found at ground level 

(terrestrial) in leaf litter or under rotting wood. Only 5% of land snail species for which data 

is available commonly exhibit both arboreal and terrestrial activity (Table 4). 

Based on the unpublished report of Barker (2005) several locations (e.g., isolated islands in 

the Lau Group; Rotuma) have assemblages of native species that should be conserved. The 

most obvious priority is the very isolated island of Rotuma which according to Barker (2005) 

is known for 6 endemic species from 5 different families, including a member of the Pacific 

Island flagship partulid tree snails - a group designated as a high conservation priority for the 

Pacific Island region by the IUCN (Pippard, IUCN-Oceania, pers. comm.). The current status 

of the Rotuman land snail fauna is unknown as there have been no surveys for a century. 

Land snail surveys of Rotuma are a high conservation priority not only because of the 

island‘s highly significant land snail records but because of the substantially increased 

extinction-risk levels that will result from the island‘s imminent conversion to a registered 

port of entry for the Fijian Islands. Potential new species introductions will without doubt be 

associated with the resulting trade developments. 

27

Seven of the 28 land snail families found in Fiji consist solely of introduced fauna 

(Valloniidae, Ariophantidae, Subulinidae, Streptaxidae, Bradybaenidae, Agriolimacidae, 

Zonitidae). The family Pupillidae has two introduced species and one endemic member while 

the shell-less family Vaginulidae (=Veronicellidae), commonly known as ―leatherleaf‖ slugs, 

includes two introduced and one native species i.e., Semperula wallacei (Issel, 1874). As 

mentioned by Barker (2005) this latter native species is likely to have been confused with the 

introduced members of the family. Unfortunately to date no identification guide or key exists 

to aid identification and separation of this native species from the introduced members of the 

family however preparation of such tools are now in progress. 

Besides the taxonomic identification obstacles, which are currently being addressed, all of the 

eighteen known introduced species are considered to pose some level of potential ―risk‖ for 

either agricultural productivity, biodiversity loss or human and livestock health (Brodie & 

Barker, in review). Some of these species have been present in Fiji for well over 30 years 

(Barker, 1979) and the soon to be published preliminary risk assessment is timely. 

We need to know more about the biology and life history of existing introductions to enable 

more robust and specific risk assessment in the future and we also need to investigate lessons 

learnt else where for preventing avenues (pathways) for further introductions (e.g. see Cowie 

2008). 

Fiji is very fortunate in having so far stopped populations of the world‘s two most high risk 

invasive land snails; namely the ―Rosy Wolf Snail‖ Euglandina rosea (Férussac 1821) and 

the ―Giant African Snail‖ Lissachatina [Achatina] fulica Bowdich, 1822 from becoming 

established. There is no doubt that the Fiji Government agricultural and quarantine services 

must be duly acknowledged for their hard work in achieving this, when so many of our 

Pacific Island trading partners have already suffered greatly from these two devastating 

invasive species. 

The Fiji Islands however, does have at least 18 introduced species with variable risk levels to 

agricultural productivity, biodiversity loss or human and livestock health (Brodie & Barker, 

in review). Based on a comparison of our current observations (Mila et al. 2010; Brodie & 

Copeland, submitted; Brodie, in press; Brodie, unpublished data) and past observations 

(Solem, 1978; Barker, 1979; Haynes 1998) some introduced species e.g. Bradybaena 

similaris (Rang, 1831) and Quantula striata (Gray 1834) have obviously increased in 

abundance, at least on the largest island of Viti Levu. 

However, the most worrying ―new‖ snail introduction absent in the reports by Solem (1978) 

and Haynes (1998) is the presence and very obvious increase in abundance and distribution of 

the ―semi-slug‖ Parmarion martensi Simroth 1893 (Figure 1). First officially reported in Fiji 

by Barker (2005), but known from southeast Viti Levu from as early as 1979 this species is 

now numerous and widespread in areas of human habitation, and alarmingly has also recently 

been found (Brodie, in press; Brodie & Copeland, submitted; Brodie unpublished data) in 

three of Fiji‘s high priority forest areas highlighted by Olsen et al. (2009). 

In addition to its newly reported highly invasive status in Fiji by Brodie & Barker (in review) 

P. martensi is also considered by these authors as a potential high-risk vector in Fiji for the 

rat lung worm Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Chen, 1935). This parasitic worm is associated 

with eosinophilic meningitis in humans. Angiostrongylus cantonensis and eosinophilic 

meningitis are already established in Fiji (Alicata 1962, Uchikawa et al. 1984, Sano et al. 

28

1987, Paine et al. 1994) and is commonly reported as associated with less ―risky‖ invasive 

snail species such as the ―leatherleaf‖ slug Laevicaulis alte (Férussac, 1822). 

However, recent discovery by the first author of a living Bradybaena similaris (Rang, 1831) 

in salad sold at a popular BBQ take-away stand in Suva City (Figure 2) highlights the reality 

of the potential for future health problems, particularly when many families, communities and 

tourism facilities are being actively encouraged to grow their own salad vegetables. As 

recently highlighted by senior Koronivia Research Station staff (pers. comm.), there is a 

strong need to investigate the life history characteristics and parasite infection levels of all 

introduced land snail species in Fiji. 

Fiji‘s 167 endemic land snail species are very diverse, spanning 19 families (Table 1). Two 

groups in particular stand out as achievable species-level conservation priorities. These are: 

(a) Fiji‘s 12 endemic species of the taxon Placostylus, eight of which are found on only one 

island each in the Fiji group (see Figure 3 for an idea of what members of this genus look 

like); and (b) members of the taxon Trochomorpha which according to Barker (2005) has at 

least 18 species endemic to Fiji (see Figure 4 for an example of this genus). 

Besides the above groups, two additional groups are highlighted in the literature as extinction 

prone on islands because of their vulnerability to introduced predators – these are the 

microsnails of the family Endodontidae and members of the family Rhytididae. The endemic 

members of the supralittoral snails (families Ellobiidae and Truncatellidae) should also be 

given some attention as they could well be directly impacted by the affects of climate change. 

In addition the families Diplommatinidae and Assimineidae, with 15 and 12 as yet 

undescribed species respectively, should also be taxonomically revised for biodiversity 

assessment purposes. Fiji has a large number of native (endemic and non-endemic) land snail 

species that require detailed conservation assessment. 

Non-endemic natives are also important because Fiji could be significant for conservation if 

these species become threatened or locally extinct elsewhere in their range. Introduced 

species are widening their distribution within Fiji and creating a homogenisation of the Fijian 

land snail fauna just like that already recorded across the Pacific Islands by Solem (1964) and 

Cowie (2001). 

There is a need for, scientific human resource capacity building, specialised training about 

land snails and general awareness raising of the presence and significance of snails in the 

environment, at a local level. Support for at least one postgraduate student scholarship, 

funding for a two-day workshop on introduced snails every two years and an increase in 

media coverage would substantially address these capacity, training and awareness issues. 

For introduced, native and endemic fauna there is an immediate need for collation of existing 

information into a form that can be made readily available for utilisation by resource 

managers and other community stakeholders. Funding is required for the preparation of 

photographic images in the Fiji land snail catalogue currently in progress and also for 

obtaining expert curation of material held in Fiji, as well as repatriation of at least some 

Fijian material held in overseas institutions. 

The consequences of not collating and utilising existing information includes unrecognised 

risks to, unique biodiversity, human and livestock health, agricultural crop production and in 

turn will have potential economic implications for sustainable livelihoods and trade.

3.10 A CHECKLIST OF THE INSECTS OF FIJI 

This checklist represents a compilation of insect species of Fiji from those listed in the Fiji 

Arthropod Survey Checklist website (http://hbs.bishopmuseum.org/fiji/checklists.html) and 

updated from various recently published and unpublished literatures where species are known 

to occur in Fiji. The checklist records a total of 5,024 insect species belonging to 25 orders 

and 349 families whilst many remain unknown to science. The Insecta (Class Hexapoda) is 

one of the largest groups of living organisms known for Fiji. The insect order Coleoptera 

(Beetles) is the largest group within the class, making up approximately 28% of Fiji‘s insect 

fauna followed by Lepidoptera (24%) and then by Diptera (13%). Fiji has recorded high rates 

of endemism for many of the major insect groups that have been studied however; less 

remains known of the biology and ecology of these endemic insects and thus efforts to make 

concise conservation and management efforts into protecting them better in their natural 

habitat still awaits further scientific data. 

Some of Fiji‘s insects have also captivated global interest e.g. the rare and endemic Fijian 

giant long-horned beetle, Xixuthrus heros which is known to be the worlds‘ second largest 

beetle measuring up to 14-15cm in length.

3.11 VASCULAR PLANTS OF THE FIJI ISLANDS 

Plants are the power-house of life on earth. A comprehensive summary of floral exploration 

of Fiji was prepared by A.C. Smith as part of his six-volume series, Flora itiensis Nova 

(Smith, 1979). Despite Fiji being visited as early as 1643 by Abel Tasman, it was not until 

another 200 years later that the first specimens were collected. In 1838, Captain Dumont 

d‘Urville arrived in Fiji waters. Hombron, Jacquinot and Guillou collected plant specimens 

mostly from Ovalau. Specimens from their collections are housed at Paris Herbarium (P), 

with duplicates found in other major international herbaria. Around the time of Dumont 

d‘Urville‘s visit, the United States Exploring Expedition (1838-1842) led by Captain Wilkes 

arrived in Fiji and about 600 specimens were said to have been collected (Stanton, 1975). The 

botanist Asa Gray worked on the Fijian as well as other Pacific Islands specimens collected 

by the US Exploring Expedition resulting in a series of published and unpublished works 

(Gray, 1848-1874). 

Other notable collections were made by Hinds and Barclay in 1840 (see publications by Hind 

1842 and Bentham 1846). Also William Henry Harvey visited Fiji in 1855 and collected 

specimens from Vanua Levu. Harvey‘s material was studied by Berthold Carl Seemann. 

Seemann was one of the outstanding contributors to our knowledge on the Fiji flora with his 

publication titled ‗The Flora Vitiensis‘ (Seeman, 1865-1873). During his 

tenure in Fiji, Seemann collected well over 1000 specimens. 

Albert Charles Smith collected Fijian specimens in 1933-1934, with subsequent visits from 

1947-1948, 1953-1954, 1967 and 1969. These resulted in a number of publications including 

Smith (1934, 1935, 1936, 1950, 1979-1991). His modern treatise of the Fiji flora provided the 

baseline for all current research and has proven to be the bible on the plants of Fiji. Another 

notable contribution was made by Bayard Parham who established the Fiji Herbarium 

(SUVA). His work was published by his son John Parham (1964, 1972). Over the years a 

number of researchers had focussed their efforts on specific groups, such as Fuller‘s (1997) 

research on indigenous palms and Bush (1997) on endemic gymnosperms. Tuiwawa (1998) 

carried out tree-forest research at Waisoi, Namosi in the interior of Viti Levu where over 370 

species were identified in an 8 sq km area. The majority of species were native with just over 

half classed as endemics (56%). Watkins (1992) carried out surveys at Nadarivatu and listed 

599 species. Dick Watling published the Palms of the Fiji Islands in 2005, where 31 species 

were illustrated of which 25 were native. 

The most recent review of the floral diversity of Fiji was by Tuiwawa (1998), where 2,530 

vascular plant species were attributed to the Fiji flora. A large proportion of these species 

(63%) were considered native species, of which 56 % were found exclusive to Fiji. The 

remaining flora was introduced species (936 documented cases), of which a third had become 

naturalised. It is suspected that well over 2,000 plant species may have been introduced either 

deliberate or accidental but are not documented. 

Plant species are distributed throughout all known habitats of the Fiji Islands. It is said that 

prior to settlement of the islands, they were covered with closed-canopy forest (Watling, 

2005). Over half of this primary forest remains somewhat intact with varying degree of 

impact or degradation. The lowland rainforest is one area where there has been a lot of 

disturbance due human settlement. This area straddles the coastal region extending upwards 

to about 600 m. Plant species vary from shrubs to trees 30 m tall. The upland rainforest 

occurs above the lowland forests area (above 600 m elevation) and can be categorised as wet 

264

or dry zone. Montane forest is a region where there are abundant epiphytes and is dominated 

by angiosperms. This area is approximately 800 m elevation. The cloud forest is one of the 

moist areas of Fiji‘s forest, with high rainfall. The area is usually occupied by mosses and 

other epiphytic plants. The range varies from 600-900 m elevation. The dry forest occurs in 

drier zones of the country. Although once extensive, it is now occupied by agriculture, 

introduced shrubs and grasslands. The coastal and wetland vegetations include mangrove 

forest, coastal strand vegetation, freshwater wetland vegetation and river vegetation are high 

impact sites mostly from human activities. Other categories for plant distribution are the 

disturbed vegetation and the secondary forest. 

3.11.1 CHECKLIST OF FLORA IN FIJI 

Plant checklists are the most rudimentary form of documenting vegetative life in any area of 

study. Given they are quite diverse in form and structure, one must take heed of the task at 

hand as it requires one of formal botanical training or experience (to say the least) for proper 

and credible accounts of the group/taxa observed or reviewed. As such, the opportunity 

presented is a culmination of notable works undertaken by established botanists who 

dedicated 10-20 + years of their lives studying and formally delineating the floristic 

composition that collectively is unique to Fiji‘s archipelago. Thus, the executive summary is 

based on the ferns and the seed plants of Fiji by Brownlie (1967) and Smith (1979-1991), 

respectively. The tree species and commercial timber species are extracted from Smiths amd 

Brownlie‘s floras. The checklist of other potential ornamentals for Fiji are extracted from A. 

Whistler (1998) in consultation with the Curator of the South Pacific Regional Herbarium. 

Please note, the acronym syn. means synonym. These are plant names that were formally 

used but have become invalid because of findings from recent research. 

Plant is a collective term of reference to what fundamentally is referred to as ferns and seed 

plants. These two groups make up the primary classification in the plant world. Ferns are 

spore reproducing plants that essentially requires an aquatic medium for any chance of 

reproduction. Seed plants obviously are the non-spore bearing group that are by far more 

diverse in form, structure and habitat. The reproductive versatility of seeds allows them to 

opportunistically evolve and adapt to survive various environmental conditions. As such, we 

have seed plants that are scientifically intriguing – e.g. cycads and those that have been 

highlighted as commercially viable – timber tree species. The depth of diversity and 

complexity within these groups is overwhelming and any indications of their wealth will 

most definitely supersede the purpose of this document. Thus, we restrict our knowledge to 

the basics or more so what it is that‘s required of a checklist – these are the scientific names 

of individual species, which are always italicized and then followed by the authority or 

person (s) that discovered them; the formal consignment to their family and also an indication 

whether each species is indigenous, endemic or introduced to the area of interest, in this case 

Fiji.

3.12 RAPID BIODIVERSITY SURVEY OF MAKOGADRA ISLAND, 

LOMAIVITI PROVINCE, FIJI ISLANDS 

Makodraga is an uninhabited island 1.4km off the main island of Makogai, sitting on the 

NW border of the Lomaiviti Province. It has an area of about 82ha with an intact tropical 

forest vegetation cover. The highest point is some 120m above sea level, is volcanic with 

387

steep slopes and has potential to be a translocation site for the Fijian Crested Iguana 

(Brachylophus vitiensis) from Yadua Taba Island in Bua Province, Vanua Levu. 

Figure 3.7: Makodraga Island, Lomaiviti Province, Fiji 

The IUCN Red listed endangered Fijian Crested Iguana is endemic to tropical dry forests 

found on smaller islands of Fiji. Yadua Taba Island has good tropical dry forest along 

with the largest (and only secure) population of B. vitiensis in Fiji and has been proposed 

as a translocation source for iguana conservation. Declining populations have been 

recorded from other islands in the Yasawa Group, Mamanuca Group and Macuata Island 

off the north and north-west coast of Viti Levu. 

The aim of this rapid biodiversity assessment survey of Makodraga Island was to find out 

if it is appropriate as a translocation site for crested iguanas. Opportunistic fauna and 

floral surveys were conducted on Saturday 31 st October and Sunday 1 st November 2009 

on the island of Makodraga. 

3.12.1 BACKGROUND 

Makodraga and Makogai Islands were purchased by the Fiji Government in 1908 to 

accommodate a leper colony that was then operational from 1911 to 1969. During the 

Leprosy era, a small bay on the island of Makodraga was utilized as an Observatory point 

and was later used as a picnic spot for the Lepers. The southern end of the bay is 

currently used as a picnic spot by the residents of Makogai Island. The vegetation is 

relatively undisturbed, in particular after feral goats were removed from the island about 

a decade ago by personnel working at the Fisheries field station on Makogai Island. 

There has been no major activity undertaken on Makodraga Island in recent years. 

Makodraga and Makogai Islands, under the Birds and Game Protection Act, are the only 

two islands in the Fiji archipelago that are completely reserved areas in respect of all 

388

game. The conservation status for Makodraga looks promising as it comes under the 

ownership of the government. 

The purpose of this survey is to determine if the Island of Makodraga has the potential to 

be a translocation site for the Yadua Taba Crested Iguana population. The Yadua Taba 

Island Crested Iguana population has been restored to viable numbers over the last 30 

years. Despite the re-establishment of this yet increasing population, the risk of losing 

the species to extinction remains high, this becomes more critical with the recent findings 

of genetic variation between islands. While most of these other islands are inhabited 

and/or currently used for recreational purposes by landowners, Yadua Taba Island 

remains the only safe haven for the species. The current total population, though 

substantial, is still vulnerable being concentrated on only one island. Therefore, the need 

for translocation of the Yadua Taba island Crested Iguana population to a conservation 

site is critical, but in avoidance of cross-breeding with other populations and more so 

with other iguana species. 

The survey team comprised the following personnel - Marika Tuiwawa (South Pacific 

Regional Herbarium, USP), Isaac Rounds (Conservation International), Jone Niukula 

(National Trust Fiji), Saras Sharma (Fiji Department Fisheries) & Nunia Thomas 

(NatureFiji/Mareqeti/Viti). 

3.12.2 METHODS 

Opportunistic fauna and floral surveys were conducted from Saturday 31 st October to 

Sunday 1 st November 2008 on the island of Makodraga next to Makogai Island. The 

surveys were conducted by walking through and across the island (in the forest), along 

the coastal forest; and around the island by boat. 

In addition a brief summary on the result of a Crested Iguana survey by Peter Harlow and 

Rob Fischer in February 2010 will be highlighted in the Herpetofauna section. 

3.12.3 RESULTS 

Herpetofauna 

Opportunistic diurnal herpetofauna surveys were conducted from 11am to 3pm on two 

days (31/10/09 and 01/11/09). The presence of known plants of importance to the diet of 

Fiji‘s native iguanas was noted; and their locations recorded. Geographical Positioning 

Systems (GPS) data of potential iguana breeding sites were recorded using a Thales 

Mobile Mapper TM . One targeted nocturnal survey for iguanas was conducted from 6pm 

to 8pm on the second day (01/11/2009) within the agreed ideal iguana habitat on the 

island (Figure 1). 

Four native and one introduced species of herpetofauna were encountered over the two 

days of survey: Emoia cyanura, E. impar, Cryptoblepharus eximus, Candoia bibroni and 

Lepidodactylus lugubris. Two of the native species are endemic to Fiji. No herpetofauna 

was found during the nocturnal survey (Table 1). 

389

One native, endemic species (Brachylophus bulabula or B. fasciatus) and the introduced 

invasive cane toad (Bufo marinus) were reported by the inhabitants of nearby Makogai 

Island to be occasionally present on Makodraga.

Several iguana breeding sites were identified along the south-eastern part of the island 

(Figure 1) , where the soil was relatively soft with less boulders (Figure 2) compared to 

the north western side (Figure 3). 

A survey by P. Harlow and R. Fisher in February 2010 with good weather established the 

presence of the Fiji Banded Iguana on Makodraga Island and they estimated a population 

of 2000 individuals on the island. 

Skink abundance 

Ground skinks were common within the forest to the north-west of Makodraga Island and 

along the slopes from ‗Peak 1‘ to ‗look out point‘. Not many skinks were observed along 

the south-eastern part of the island (from ‗creek bed‘ to ‗ficus‘.

cobbles located in the south-eastern part of the island 

391

Targeted Nocturnal Survey for Iguanas 

A site for a targeted nocturnal survey was selected based on the presence of a dense patch 

of Hibiscus tiliaceus in the south-western part of the island (Figure 1). 

The targeted nocturnal survey was conducted over two hours after dark (18:00 – 20:00). 

Cloud cover and rainfall were 100% and heavy respectively before and during the two 

hours survey. 

No iguanas were found during the survey. 

Weather Conditions 

Cloud (80% cover) and heavy rainfall were prevalent on both days of the survey; with 

only a maximum of 3 hours of strong sunshine. 

392

Figure 3.10: The ground cover of the north-western parts of the island is dominated by 

boulders and loose cobbles. 

Discussion 

It is highly likely that not all resident herpetofauna were recorded during this survey. The 

observed differences in skink abundance between different parts of the island are 

probably not indicative of their distribution and require further investigation. The 

presence of two endemic skinks: C. cryptoblepharus and E. concolor is encouraging. 

Makodraga had been experiencing a dry spell prior to the survey. The effects of the dry 

spell were evident in the dry (flammable) ground cover; making the island and its 

resident fauna and flora very vulnerable to fires. The fact that not a single Iguana was 

observed during the nocturnal survey was solely due to the very bad weather conditions 

(wind and rain) encountered prior and during the survey. 

The survey two months later by P. Harlow and R. Fisher was carried out in ideal 

conditions thus the discovery of a good population of Brachylophus cf. bulabula. 

393

Birds 

Birds surveys during this visit were more opportunistic than methodical, conducted on 

both days (31/10/09 – 1/11/09) on Makodraga with an extra day (2/11/09) for Makogai 

Island. 

Eighteen land birds were encountered on Makodraga, six of which are endemic to the Fiji 

Islands while two are regional endemic species. Please refer to Table 2 for the list of 

birds recorded during the survey. 

Notable observations are that of the high frequency of Friendly Ground Dove 

(Gallicolumba stairi) nests encountered, the lowest seen on a branch growing at around 

1.7m above ground. Apart from the nests, another sign of successful breeding was the 

capture of a juvenile feeding on the ground beneath a strand of Beach Hibiscus (Hibiscus 

tiliaceus). 

Figure 3.11: Signs of successful breeding for Friendly Ground Dove 

An adult male was found dead with its head stuck in a notch on a dead tree trunk, in 

which a pool of water had accumulated. (Refer to Figure 5) 

394

Figure 3.12: Male Friendly Ground Dove stuck on a notch trying to get to the pool of 

water 

The only bird that was never heard calling but observed perched and flying below the 

canopy is the Fiji Goshawk, a bird of prey that has the potential to prey on other animals. 

One that has been recorded feeding on iguanas in Yadua Taba is the Pacific Harrier, of 

which two pairs were sighted flying over the hills on Makogai Island. Open grasslands 

that are nesting sites for harriers are seldom on Makodraga but observed on nearby 

Makogai.

Discussion 

Makodraga and Makogai Islands, under the Birds and Game Protection Act, are the only 

two islands in the Fiji archipelago that are completely reserved areas in respect of all 

game. 

[Quote from the Birds and Game Protection Act – Cap. 170 Rev. 1985] 

Game birds include Fijian Wood Pigeon, Peale‘s Pigeon or Barking Pigeon (Ducula 

latrans) and the fruit doves. 

Recommendations 

Proper birds survey is to be conducted 

Rat survey is recommended, especially on the current density as Friendly Ground 

Dove breeding appears to be very successful 

Research: Does the Fiji Goshawk feed on iguanas?? 

Flora and Vegetation 

According to Keppel and Tuiwawa (2007) the vegetation type of Makodraga Island 

would be described as Tropical Dry Forest found in the Dry Zone Forests of Fiji 

comprising coastal (including mangroves) and lowland plants. Three habitat/forest types 

were observed and they included the Coastal or Beach Forest Type, Dry Forest Type, and 

the Mangrove Forest. 

Coastal or Beach Forest Type 

Such forest type is restricted immediately above the high water mark along the coastline 

(Fig 7). On the flat sections of the coastline this forest type is extensive and here some of 

the more dominant trees like Pisonia grandis, Barringtonia asiatica and Terminalia 

catappa occur. 

397

Figure 3.14. Coastal Forest Type with dominant evergreen like Terminalia catappa, 

Barringtonia asiatica and Pisonia grandis. The deciduous (tree without leaves) tree 

Gyrocarpus americanus on the slopes. 

Other common large trees include Hernandia nymphaeifolia, Thespesia populnea, 

Neisosperma oppositifolium, Calophyllum inophyllum, and Cocos nucifera. These trees 

on average had heights of up to 12m with boles of 2-3m. The largest tree measured was 

Terminalia catappa with dbh of 96cm. Shrubs and sub canopy trees observed included 

Hibiscus tiliaceus, Guetarda speciosa, Excoecaria agallocha, Acacia simplex and 

Scaevola taccada. 

Mangrove Forest 

The mangrove forest is not extensive and is restricted only to the south east coast 

covering an area of about 600 m 2 . Here a small stand of Rhizophora cf. stylosa was 

observed. Trees on average grew to three meters in height with an average dbh of about 

35cm. 

Dry Forest 

The rest of the island is mostly made up of this forest type. The bole of the trees on 

average has lengths of about 3m and leaves are sclerophyllous. There are a lot of woody 

lianas and Cycas seemannii (Fig 8). Deciduous trees and shrubs found in the forest type 

included Gyrocarpus americanus, Pleiogynium timoriense, Millettia pinnata, Erythrina 

variegata and Antirhea insconspicua. Two other deciduous plants normally found on 

such forest were not observed - Koeluteria elegans and Garuga floribunda. Lianas and 

creepers include Entada phaseoloides, Ventilago vitiensis and Dichapetalum vitiense and 

are common throughout the island. 

The ground cover is covered with sparsely dispersed woody plants like Alyxia sp, 

Nephrolepsis sp., the grasses Scleria sp. and Oplismenus sp. 

Overall there is evidence of previous grazing and fire but no recent sign of such activities. 

The Island overall has only a handful of invasive species that have very little ecological 

impact. 

398

Figure 3.15 Woody lianas and short bole trees are typical characters of a dry forest. 

Figure 3.16: Cycas seemannii in abundance. Note dry underground cover ideal for fuel 

for fires. Rocky rubbles on the forest floor is not ideal for breeding for iguanas. 

Flora 

A total of 89 taxa were recorded during the two day survey comprising of nine exotics, 

nine endemic and 71 indigenous species (see Appendix 1). The majority of the plants 

recorded were trees comprising 73% (65 spp.) of the flora followed by lianas and 

creepers with 14% (12 spp.), shrubs 9% (8 spp.) and ferns 4% (4 spp.). The three largest 

groups are the families Fabaceae with twelve species followed by Euphorbiaceae with six 

species and Rubiaceae and Apocynaceae with four species each. These four groups 

comprise 25% of the overall flora of Makogadra island.

The invasive species observed during the survey included Mikania micrantha and 

Passiflora foetida. Other weedy and noxious plants recorded include Lantana camara, 

Samanea saman, Vernonia cinerea and Mangifera indica. 

Discussion 

The Dry Forest vegetation on Makogadra is one of the best observed throughout Fiji. 

There are very few problematic plants on the island and their density is so low that they 

pose very little negative ecological impact not only with their current status but with any 

attempt to remove them. 

More than 90% of plants observed during the survey are also present on Yadua Taba and 

almost all of these are plants species used by the Crested Iguana as food. 

The island is also an ideal location for the ex situ conservation for some of Fiji‘s more 

threatened dry forest and/or drier zone threatened species. 


Additional survey of the flora is essential 

Eradication and Control of invasive and weeds (potentially problematic plants) 

A formal protected status for the island should be pursued.

3.13 INTRODUCED SPECIES 

An introduced, alien, exotic, non-indigenous or non-native species refers to those species 

living outside its native distributional range, which has arrived there by human activity 

either deliberate or accidental (Wikipedia Foundation Incorporation, 2010). According 

to Convention on Biological Diversity 1997 National Report, the total number of vascular 

plants known from Fiji is approximately 2,600 (Department of Environment, 1997:5). 

Out of these 1,600 are native and 1,000 are introduced. Furthermore, a study conducted 

by Smith from 1979 to 1991 recorded 934 introduced species (Department of 

Environment, 1997:5). However, this was an underestimate based solely on herbarium 

specimens. The correct figure is estimated to be over 1000 introduced species 

(Department of Environment, 1997:5). 

There are 11 introduced bird species to Fiji, of which three species, the two mynahs 

(Acridotheres tristis and Acridotheres fuscus) and the Red Vented Bulbul (Pycnonotus 

cafer) are considered pest species. Since the islands were first inhabited a number of 

introduced mammals were brought along either deliberately for food or accidentally (as 

stowaways). Most of these mammals have had devastating impacts on the land, including 

extirpating some of the native ground-nesting birds. Some of the introductions include 

the three species of rats: the Polynesian rat (Rattus exulans) brought by early inhabitants; 

the Brown rat (Rattus norgegicus); and the Black rat (Rattus rattus). The Brown and the 

Black rats were brought probably by European sea-voyagers, as was the House mouse 

(Mus musculus). Pigs (Sus scrofa) were brought by the first inhabitants, most probably 

for food; however, many became feral causing serious damage to native forests. Another 

unfortunate introduction to Fiji was the Indian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) that 

was introduced in 1883 from the West Indies to control rats in sugar cane fields. 

Fortunately, the devastation caused by this pest has not yet made it to many of the outer 

islands (e.g. Taveuni), and efforts should be made to keep these islands mongoose-free. 

Deer (Dama dama) were introduced to Wakaya island, as were goats (Capra hircus) and 

cats (Felis catus) to some islands. Horses were introduced probably by the missionaries 

in the 1860s, and illustrated in a wooden engraving in Reverend James Calvert‘s book 

‗Fiji and Fijians: v. 2 Mission history‘, it was said to have caused such a fright to the 

natives. 

Eight of the 29 families are solely associated with introduced fauna (Valloniidae, 

Ariophantidae, Subulinidae, Streptaxidae, Bradybaenidae, Agriolimacidae, Zonitidae) 

while the shell-less family Vaginulidae, commonly known as ―leatherleaf‖ slugs, includes 

two introduced and one native species, Semperula wallacei (Issel, 1874). As mentioned 

by Barker (2005) this native species is likely to have been confused with the introduced 

members of the family. Unfortunately to date no identification guides exist to aid 

separation. Besides the identification obstacles, several of the sixteen known introduced 

species are considered to have potential implications for agricultural productivity, 

biodiversity loss or human and livestock health, however very little information is 

currently available to allow risk assessments to be undertaken. 

There is an immediate and critical need for collation of existing information into a form 

that can be utilised by resource managers. Introduced palms include Metroxylon 

warburgii, Pinanga coronata (introduced in the 1970s in Colo-i-Suva but now invasive). 

403

According to Department of Environment (1997:9), the introduced fauna of Fiji 

includes: 

11 species of birds. 

4 introduced mammals (four rodents and the lndian mongoose Herpestes 

auropunctatus). 

1 introduced species of the giant toad Bufo marinus. 

(Department of Environment, 1997:9) 

3.14 PLANTATION SPECIES 

Plantation species of flora vary from industry to industry and from region to region. 

Some of the plantation species of timber include Amunu (Dacrycarpus Imbricatus), 

Buabua (Fragraea Gracilipes), Dakua Makdre (Agathis Vitiensis), Dakua Salusalu 

(Deccussocarpus Vitiensis), Kuasi (Podocarpus Nerrifolius), Rosawa (Gmelina 

Vitiensis), Yaka (Dacrydium Spp), Vesi (Intsia Bijuga), Dabi (Xlocarpus Spp), Damanu 

(Calophyllum Spp), Dilo (Calophyllum Inophyllum), Nawanawa (Cordia Subcordata), 

Raintree/Vaivai (Samanea Saman), Bauvudi (Palaquium spp), Kauceuti (Bleasdala 

Vitiensis), Kaudamu (Myristica Castaneifolia), Kauvula (Endosperm Macrophyllum), 

Mavota (Gonystylus Punctaus), Kaunicia (Canarium Vitiense), Sagali (Lumnitzera 

Littorea), Dogo (Bruguiera Gymnorhiza), Vaivai-ni-veikau (Scrianthes Myriadenia), 

Laubu (Garcinia Myrtifolia), Rosarosa (Heritiera Ornithocephala), Sacau (Palaguium 

Hornei), Sasauira (Dysoxylum Spp), Tivi (Terminalia Spp), Yasidamu (Cleistrcalyx Spp), 

Yasidravu (Syzgium Spp), Qumu (Acacia Richii) and Doi (Alphitonia Zizyphoides) 

(Ministry of Forest, 2006:35). Another study conducted by Thaman et al., (2000:1-60) 

stated that: 

Over 130 tree plantation species are used for commercial purposes. 

20 important tree species used for local construction purposes. 

Over 50 plantation species used for woodcarving. 

Almost 100 species or groups of plantation species from the same genera, listed as 

being among the 10 most important medicinal plants in a given area. 

Over 80 plantation species are culturally or economically important species. 

3.15 INVASIVE/INTRODUCED SPECIES 

Introduced species are thriving in many parts of Fiji, especially in areas where there is 

close contact with human habitation. Two bats (C. bregullae and E. semicaudata) are 

listed as endangered, with P. samoensis near threatened and N. macdonaldi vulnerable. 

Key sites were identified by Palmeirim et al. (2005) as priority sites for bat conservation. 

Some of the invasive species of Fiji are: 

Fruit flies (Bactrocera passiflorea, B. xanthodes, B. kirki, B. obscura, B. distincta, 

B. gentum). 

Taro Beetle (Papuana huebneri). 

African tulip (Spathodea campanulate). 

Rats (Rattus rattus), (R. exulans), (R.norvegicus), (R. musculus). 

Indian mongoose (Rallus phillopensis). 

404

Indian myna (Acridotheres tristis). 

Jungle myna (Acridotheres fuscus). 

Red-vented bulbul (Pycnonotus cafer). 

(Food and Agriculture Organisation: 2010) 

3.16 MIGRATORY SPECIES 

Some of the species of flora and fauna that are migratory include: 

Out of the 55 terrestrial breeding species of birds found in Fiji, 1 is inland migrant 

and 16 coastal migrants. 

(Department of Environment, 1997:9). 

3.17 ENDANGERED SPECIES 

Study conducted by Doyle (1998) as cited in World Wildlife Fund (2001) stated that a 

number of Fiji‘s 10 gymnosperm species are considered endangered including the 

endemics Podocarpus affinis, Acmophyle sahniana, and Dacrydium nausoriense. 

Building on this idea another study conducted by Doyle & Fuller (1998) as cited in 

World Wildlife Fund (2001) stated that 24 native palm species are enedemic to Fiji and at 

least 8 out of the 24 are endangered or critically endangered including Neoveitchia 

storckii. Other flora and fauna that are endangered to Fiji include the following: 

Fiji petrel (Pseudobulweria macgillivrayi). 

Fijian ground frog 

Fiji tree frog 

Giant forest Honey eater 

Kadavu Parrot 

Polynesian Storm Petrel 

Long legged Warbler

(Nature Fiji: 2010) 

Assessment for Fiji birds threatened status was undertaken using the IUCN Red Listing 

criteria (International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, 2010). 

Fiji has 18 birds that conform to the Red Listing categories (extinct, critically 

endangered, endangered, vulnerable and near threatened). The recent surveys by Birdlife 

International concluded that the Giant Forest Honeyeater (Gymnomyza viridis), once 

considered vulnerable, is now of least concern (widespread and abundant) (Birdlife 

International 2006). Two species that are critically endangered are the Fiji Petrel 

(Pseudobulweria macgillivrayi) and the Red-throated Lorikeet (Charmosyna amabilis). 

The critically endangered Mirimiri acrodonta has only been reported from the high-forest 

areas of Taveuni, with unconfirmed sightings from areas in Vanua Levu. Its limited 

distributional range makes it highly vulnerable to extinction, which is exacerbated by 

roost disturbance and roost loss, hunting, introduced predators and de-forestation. The 

restricted distribution of many of the Fiji‘s native palms makes them vulnerable. The 

disturbance usually by human activities is the biggest threat to these species. Fifteen palm 

species are threatened, six are Critically Endangered, four are Endangered, five 

Vulnerable and the remaining near threatened or least concern. 

3.18 ENDEMIC SPECIES 

Fiji forests are known for the large number of enedemic species and higher taxa 

(McGinley, 2007). In particular, there are 1,769 vascular plants native to Fiji with about 

406

23% endemism (McGinley, 2007). Some of the species of flora and fauna that are 

enedemic to Fiji include the following: 

Primitive tree – Degeneraceae. 

cycad, Cycas rumphi. 

giant Agathis macrophylla 

Dacrydium nausoriense 

24 native palm species 

Fiji Ground Frog (Platymantis vitianus) 

Fiji Tree Frog (Platymantis vitiensis) 

One terrestrial snake, Ogmodon vitiensis 

4 native passerines 

3 parrots 

4 pigeons 

Striking crested Iguana 

Banded Iguana 

silktail (Lamprolia victoriae) 

orange dove (Ptilinopus victor) 

golden dove (P. luteovirens) 

whistling dove (P. layardi) 

The long-legged warbler (Trichocichla rufa) 

bar-winged rail (Rallus poecilopterus) 

monkey-faced fruit bat (Pteralopex acrodonta) 

mastiff bat (Tadarida jobensis) 

pink-billed parrotfinch (Erythrura kleinschmidti) 

Peale‘s pigeon (Ducula latrans) 

Red-throated lorikeet (Charmosyna amabilis) 

Further the Wallis and Futuna Islands have endemic land snails and 5 endemic bird 

subspecies (Gill, 1995 as cited in McGinley 2007). Over half of the native flora of Fiji is 

made up of endemic species. Some of these endemics have narrow or limited distribution. 

For the palms 24 are endemics (except Calamus vitiensis). There is uncertainty whether 

Pritchardia pacifica is indigenous or was introduced when the islands were settled. 

Fiji has a total of 27 endemic species, the Fiji Petrel being the only endemic seabird 

species. Watling (2001) recognised 85 sub-species that are endemic to Fiji. These 

endemic birds are often confined on a single island. Such endemics include the Rotuman 

Polynesian Starling (Aplonis tabuensis rotumae) and Lesser Shrikebill (Clytorhynchus 

vitiensis wiglesworthi) found only in Rotuma, the Collared Kingfisher (Todiramphus 

chloris eximia) and Island Thrush (Turdus poliocephalus ruficeps) of Kadavu and the 

Golden Whistler (Pachycephala pectoralis vitiensis) of Gau. 

Of these 225 known species of terrestrial gastropod mollusc fauna of Fiji, 43 are native 

(indigenous), 166 are endemic and 16 are introduced. This represents a level of 74% 

endemism, confirming the importance of the unique Fijian fauna at a national, regional 

and global level. The majority of native and endemic fauna appear to be associated with 

native forest habitats, that is, thirty-five members of three different families; namely, 

(Assimineidae, Ellobiidae and Truncatellidae) are considered to be associated with a high 

407

intertidal or supralittoral habitats and these taxa may not have been included in previous 

Fijian land snail biodiversity estimates. According to Barker (2005), six of these 35 

species are endemic, four are of unconfirmed status and 25 are native. 

3.19 TRADED SPECIES 

Some of the trade species of flora include Amunu (Dacrycarpus Imbricatus), Buabua 

(Fragraea Gracilipes), Dakua Makdre (Agathis Vitiensis), Dakua Salusalu 

(Deccussocarpus Vitiensis), Kuasi (Podocarpus Nerrifolius), Rosawa (Gmelina 

Vitiensis), Yaka (Dacrydium Spp), Vesi (Intsia Bijuga), Dabi (Xlocarpus Spp), Damanu 

(Calophyllum Spp), Dilo (Calophyllum Inophyllum), Nawanawa (Cordia Subcordata), 

Raintree/Vaivai (Samanea Saman), Bauvudi (Palaquium spp), Kauceuti (Bleasdala 

Vitiensis), Kaudamu (Myristica Castaneifolia), Kauvula (Endosperm Macrophyllum), 

Mavota (Gonystylus Punctaus), Kaunicia (Canarium Vitiense), Sagali (Lumnitzera 

Littorea), Dogo (Bruguiera Gymnorhiza), Vaivai-ni-veikau (Scrianthes Myriadenia), 

Laubu (Garcinia Myrtifolia), Rosarosa (Heritiera Ornithocephala), Sacau (Palaguium 

Hornei), Sasauira (Dysoxylum Spp), Tivi (Terminalia Spp), Yasidamu (Cleistrcalyx Spp), 

Yasidravu (Syzgium Spp), Qumu (Acacia Richii) and Doi (Alphitonia Zizyphoides). 

Government has important bans on the trade of fauna from Fiji (Ministry of Forest, 

2006:35). 

3.20 STATE OF RESEARCH AND GAPS IN EXISITNG LITERATURE 

In terms of knowledge gaps lie in documenting cryptic bird distribution and population. 

As local ornithologist, Dr Dick Watling stated in his Birds of Fiji publication, ‗...the basic 

ecological and behavioural knowledge of almost all of our native birds is very poor, and 

next to nothing is known about our rare visitors and vagrants‘. The local NGO, Nature 

Fiji is currently documenting the Fiji Petrel and such research should be encouraged for 

the other endemic bird species. Underpinning these research efforts is the need to 

conserve native forests – the habitat and nesting sites of the birds of Fiji. 

The total biodiversity of the islands of Fiji is therefore not known, nor is the total 

distribution and abundance of the species known. Analysis of the literacy outcomes in 

the area of land resources inventory of Fiji states that land resources inventory of Fiji has 

been under researched in Fiji. In particular, less data is available on the biology and 

ecology of indigenous and endemic plants. Majority of the data collected from the 

Ministry of Forestry date back to the 1990s. This indicates that further studies need to be 

carried to determine an approximate state of the most recent land inventory of Fiji. New 

studies need to be undertaken to determine the fluctuations in the land resource inventory 

of Fiji. It is essential that studies are continuously undertaken to determine the 

endangered and extinct land resources of Fiji so that effective practices are undertaken to 

stop the extinction of the land resources. Updated information for various categories of 

Fiji forests is provided under the Food and Agriculture Organisation of United Nations, 

(2010). 

408

3.21 CONCLUSION 

In this chapter I have looked at the following issues. Firstly, physical geography and 

soils of Fiji. Second, the native forests, logged forests, rehabilitated areas, protected 

forests, conservation areas, mangroves and plantation forests. Third, terrestrial flora and 

fauna of Fiji. Fourth, gaps in existing literature in the field of land resource inventory of 

Fiji. 

The next chapter will focus on agricultural resources of Fiji.

Birds of the Fiji Islands 

Dick Watling, Birdlife International, Posa Skelton 

What are birds? 

Birds are perhaps one of the most enigmatic groups of living creatures having evolved 

since the Jurassic period (150-200 million years ago) to exist in almost all the landmasses 

of earth. Their unique characters of wings, two feet, warm-blooded and egglaying 

warranted their placement under the class Aves (phylum Chordata, sub-phylum 

Vertebrata). The exact number of living bird species is not known, but an estimate of 

around 10,000 species has been suggested. 

Why are they important? 

Birds are important ecologically, through pollination of wild and agricultural plants to 

dispersal of seeds to new environment. While some birds feed exclusive on plants, others 

are predators, feeding on small insects, reptiles, mammals, even other birds, such as the 

Fiji Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), the Swamp Harrier (Circus approximans) and 

the Fiji Goshawk (Accipiter rufitorques). From a human perspective birds were once 

commonly used for sending and receiving messages (homing pigeon [a variety of the Fiji 

feral pigeon] - Columba livia), for fishing (cormorant – Phalacrocorax spp.) and as food 

(eggs, poultry, guano). Because of the vast distances covered by migrating birds (e.g. 

Pacific golden plover – Pluvialis fulva), they can become carriers of some diseases. 

Birds also make admirable flagships, being better known to local people and in traditional 

culture and they are vital environmental indicators. 

History of bird research in Fiji 

A summary of the historical account of Fijian birds can be found in Dick Watling‘s 

(2001) ‗A guide to the birds of Fiji & Western Pacific‘. Bird exploration of Fiji can be 

categorised into three phases. 

1. First phase: early European exploration (1820s to late 1880s). During this period 

the French explorer Jules Dumont d‘Urville collected a few specimens from Fiji. 

The US Wilkes Exploring Expedition followed with surveys from 1838-1842 with 

a few species noted. 

2. Phase two: 1920-1940 includes the Whitney South Sea Expedition. The 

application of science in bird surveys becomes more coherent than previous 

expeditions. 

3. Phase three: 1950-today – modern taxonomic treatise. 

Research activities on the birds of Fiji are in progress with recent efforts to document the 

population of the Fiji Petrel. 

427

Bird diversity 

The bird biodiversity of Fiji are grouped into six categories (adopted from Birdlife 

International 2006) 

i. Native breeding land-birds (57 species + 3 extinct species) 

ii. Introduced birds (11 species) 

iii. Native breeding seabirds (19 species) 

iv. Non-breeding migrant (and vagrant) seabirds (29 species) 

v. Non-breeding migrant (and vagrant) waders (22 species) 

vi. Non-breeding migrant (and vagrant) land-birds (1 species). 

From an island perspective this is a fairly rich flora, with a significant proportion of 

endemic species. Thus a total of 142 bird species (including 4 extinct) are catalogued for 

the Fiji avifauna. 

Endemic species 

Fiji has a total of 27 endemic species, the Fiji Petrel being the only endemic seabird 

species. Dick (2001) recognised 85 subspecies that are endemic to Fiji. These endemic 

birds are often confined on a single island. Such endemics include the Polynesia Starling 

(A. T. rotumae) and Lesser Shrikebill (C. V. wiglesworthi) found only on Rotuma, the 

Collared Kingfisher (T.c.eximia) and Island Thrush (T. P. Ruficeps) of Kadavu and the 

Golden Whistler (P.p. vitiensis) of Gau. 

Threatened species 

Assessment for Fiji birds threatened status was undertaken using the IUCN Red Listing 

criteria (www.redlist.org). Fiji has 18 birds that conform to the Red Listing categories 

(extinct, critically endangered, endangered, vulnerable and near threatened). The recent 

surveys by Birdlife International (Birdlife International 2006) concluded that the Giant 

Forest Honeyeater (Gymnomyza viridis) once considered vulnerable, is now of least 

concern (widespread and abundant). Two species that are critically endangered are the 

Fiji Petrel (Pseudobulweria macgillivrayi) and the Red-throated Lorikeet (Charmosyna 

amabilis). In a survey conducted by BirdLife International in August 2008, no lorikeets 

were sighted; however the team concluded that more resources are needed to undertake 

extensive research in order to re find the lorikeet. In mid 2009, an expedition to find the 

elusive Fiji petrel proved successful and for the first time, images are available of the 

bird, as well as detailed descriptions of its flight and behaviour in comparison to other 

species. Currently research is being undertaken on the Fiji Petrel (Dick Watling to 

provide a summary – please). 

Introduced species 

428

Eleven species have been introduced to Fiji, of which two species, the mynah and the 

bulbul are well known for their invasiveness. 

Bird distribution 

A good guide to the bird distribution in Fiji is given in Birdlife International (2006). 

A number of researchers have undertaken some research on the distribution of birds 

throughout Fiji. This includes Naikatini‘s research on forest birds, Birdlife International‘s 

sponsored students who have now completed their thesis on spatial relationship between 

forest birds and habitats in degraded and non-degraded forest, and a comparative study of 

bird abundance and diversity in non-degraded and degraded mid-altitude rainforests of 

the Viti Levu southern highlands. 

Bird knowledge gaps and recommendations 

There remains large areas yet to be explored. 

Need to conserve forests and islands to ensure that birds are protected. 

‗…the basic ecological and behavioural knowledge of almost all our native birds is very 

poor, and next to nothing is known about our rare visitors and vagrants.‘ Dick Watling

Biodiversity of Fijian Land Snails [draft text likely to be replaced by 

Gilianne Brodie 

Dr. Alison Haynes and Siteri Tikoca 

Snails can be found in a wide range of environments from deserts, ditches, and the 

abyssal depths of the sea. Although most people are familiar with terrestrial snails, land 

snails are in the minority. Many snails are herbivorous, though a few land species and 

many marine species are omnivores or predatory carnivores (Wikipedia projects, 2009). 

Although the word snail is often used for all shelled gastropods, the word "snail" can also 

be used in a more limited sense to mean any of several species of large, air-breathing 

(pulmonate) land snails. Land snails have thinner shells, opposed to water snails, which 

sometimes have very thick shells (Haynes, 1998). 

According to a study carried out by Garrett, 1887, Fiji has 146 species of land snails of 

which 85 were endemic. Germain (1932) agreed with this number but there are many 

synonyms in his list. Haynes (1998) stated that her list consisted of 124 species however 

her list may also include some synonyms, a summary of which is presented below.

Land Mammals of the Fiji Islands 

Alifereti Naikatini & Posa A. Skelton 

Introduction 

Mammals of the class Mammalia belong to the phylum Chordata of the Animalia 

kingdom. They are characterised by many traits of which sweat glands (including 

mammary glands in female), air-breathing, and giving birth to live young (except the five 

species of monotremes that lay eggs). About 5,400 species in about 1,200 genera are 

known ranging from the smallest at 3cm (a bat) to the largest at 33m (blue-whale). The 

mammalian orders that are found in Fiji include Rodentia (mice, rats), Chiroptera (bats), 

Carnivora (dogs, cats, mongoose), Perissodactyla (horse), Certartiopdactyla (whales) and 

Primates (human). The Certartiopdactyla is covered separately from the land mammals in 

this Inventory. The primates and some of the domesticated mammals (e.g. cattles, dogs, 

cats, etc.) are noted in this brief, although no detailed information is provided with 

regards to their status and diversity. 

Fiji’s native mammals 

Isolated islands with recent geological history such as those of Fiji do not have the 

diverse mammal fauna that occurs on continental landmasses. Fiji‘s land or terrestrial 

native mammals are few comprising entirely of six bat and flying fox species. (Alifereti – 

are there any extinct mammals?) 

Other non-native mammals were introduced by the early inhabitants of the islands (e.g. 

rats, pigs, dogs,) and subsequent voyages. Domestic animals (cattle, goat, deer, sheep) 

were introduced for various reasons, including economic agricultural development. 

Fiji’s introduced species 

Since the islands were first inhabited a number of introduced mammals were brought 

along either deliberately for food or accidentally (as stow-aways). Most of the mammals 

have had devastating impacts on the land, including extirpating some of the native 

ground-nesting birds. Some of the introductions include the three species of rats: the 

Polynesian rat (Rattus exulans) brought by early inhabitants; the Brown rat (Rattus 

norgegicus); and the Black rat (Rattus rattus). The latter two rat species were brought 

probably by European sea-voyagers, as was the House mouse (Mus musculus). Pigs (Sus 

scrofa) were brought by the first inhabitants, most probably for food; however, many 

become feral causing serious damage to the forest. Another unfortunate introduction to 

Fiji was the Indian mongoose (Herpestes auropunctatus) that was introduced in 1883 

from the West Indies to control rats in sugar cane fields. Fortunately, the devastation 

caused by this pest has not yet made it to many of the outer islands (e.g. Taveuni), and 

efforts should be made to continue to keep these islands mongoose-free. Deer (Dama 

dama) were introduced to Wakaya island, as were goats (Capra hircus) and cats (Felis 

catus) to some islands. Horses were introduced probably by the missionaries in the 

1860s, and were illustrated in a wooden engraving in Reverend James Calvert‘s book 

‗Fiji and Fijians: v. 2 Mission history‘, it was said to have caused such a fright to the 

natives.

State of terrestrial mammals 

A survey of bats undertaken by Palmeirim et al. from 2000-2001 in over 30 islands 

provided the most up-to-date summary of the state of native bats. The Pacific Flying-fox 

(Pteropus tonganus) was considered of least concern, despite being a target for local 

consumption. The critically endangered M. acrodonta has only been reported from the 

high-forest areas of Taveuni, with unconfirmed sightings from areas in Vanua Levu. Its 

limited distributional range makes it highly vulnerable to extinction, which is exacerbated 

by roost disturbance and roost loss, hunting, introduced predators and de-forestation. 

Introduced species are thriving in many parts of Fiji, especially in areas where there is 

close contact with human habitation. Two bats (C. bregullae and E. semicaudata) are 

listed as Endangered, with P. samoensis Near Threatened and N. macdonaldi Vulnerable. 

Key sites were identified by Palmeirim et al. (2005) as priority sites for bat conservation 

(Table 2).

INTRODUCTION 

Plant checklists are the most rudimentary form of documenting vegetative life in any area of 

study. Given they are quite diverse in form and structure, one must take heed of the task at 

hand as it requires one of formal botanical training or experience (to say the least) for proper 

and credible accounts of the group/taxa observed or reviewed. As such, the opportunity 

presented is a culmination of notable works undertaken by established botanists who 

dedicated 10-20 + years of their lives studying and formally delineating the floristic 

composition that collectively is unique to Fiji’s archipelago. Thus, the executive summary is 

based on the ferns and the seed plants of Fiji by Brownlie (1967) and Smith (1979-1991), 

respectively. The tree species and commercial timber species are extracted from Smiths amd 

Brownlie’s floras. The checklist of other potential ornamentals for Fiji are extracted from A. 

Whistler (1998) in consultation with the Curator of the South Pacific Regional Herbarium. 

Please note, the acronym syn. means synonym. These are plant names that were formally 

used but have become invalid because of findings from recent research. 

Plant is a collective term of reference to what fundamentally is referred to as ferns and seed 

plants. These two groups make up the primary classification in the plant world. Ferns are 

spore reproducing plants that essentially requires an aquatic medium for any chance of 

reproduction. Seed plants obviously are the non-spore bearing group that are by far more 

diverse in form, structure and habitat. The reproductive versatility of seeds allows them to 

opportunistically evolve and adapt to survive various environmental conditions. As such, we 

have seed plants that are scientifically intriguing – e.g. cycads and those that have been 

highlighted as commercially viable – timber tree species. The depth of diversity and 

complexity within these groups is overwhelming and any indications of their wealth will 

most definitely supersede the purpose of this document. Thus, we restrict our knowledge to 

the basics or more so what it is that’s required of a checklist – these are the scientific names 

of individual species, which are always italicized and then followed by the authority or 

person (s) that discovered them; the formal consignment to their family and also an indication 

whether each species is indigenous, endemic or introduced to the area of interest, in this case 

Fiji.

Introduction 

Makodraga is an uninhabited island 1.4km off the main island of Makogai, sitting on 

the NW border of the Lomaiviti Province. It has an area of about 82ha with an intact 

tropical forest vegetation cover. The highest point is some 120m above sea level, is 

volcanic with steep slopes and has potential to be a translocation site for the Fijian 

Crested Iguana (Brachylophus vitiensis) from Yadua Taba Island in Bua Province, 

Vanua Levu. 

Makodraga Island, Lomaiviti Province, Fiji. 

The IUCN Red listed endangered Fijian Crested Iguana is endemic to tropical dry 

forests found on smaller islands of Fiji. Yadua Taba Island has good tropical dry 

forest along with the largest (and only secure) population of B. vitiensis in Fiji and has 

been proposed as a translocation source for iguana conservation. Declining 

populations have been recorded from other islands in the Yasawa Group, Mamanuca 

Group and Macuata Island off the north and north-west coast of Viti Levu. 

The aim of this rapid biodiversity assessment survey of Makodraga Island was to find 

out if it is appropriate as a translocation site for crested iguanas. Opportunistic fauna 

and floral surveys were conducted on Saturday 31 st October and Sunday 1 st November 

2009 on the island of Makodraga. 

Background 

Makodraga and Makogai Islands were purchased by the Fiji Government in 1908 to 

accommodate a leper colony that was then operational from 1911 to 1969. During the 

Leprosy era, a small bay on the island of Makodraga was utilized as an Observatory 

point and was later used as a picnic spot for the Lepers. The southern end of the bay 

4

is currently used as a picnic spot by the residents of Makogai Island. The vegetation 

is relatively undisturbed, in particular after feral goats were removed from the island 

about a decade ago by personnel working at the Fisheries field station on Makogai 

Island. There has been no major activity undertaken on Makodraga Island in recent 

years. 

Makodraga and Makogai Islands, under the Birds and Game Protection Act, are the 

only two islands in the Fiji archipelago that are completely reserved areas in respect 

of all game. The conservation status for Makodraga looks promising as it comes under 

the ownership of the government. 

The purpose of this survey is to determine if the Island of Makodraga has the potential 

to be a translocation site for the Yadua Taba Crested Iguana population. The Yadua 

Taba Island Crested Iguana population has been restored to viable numbers over the 

last 30 years. Despite the re-establishment of this yet increasing population, the risk 

of losing the species to extinction remains high, this becomes more critical with the 

recent findings of genetic variation between islands. While most of these other 

islands are inhabited and/or currently used for recreational purposes by landowners, 

Yadua Taba Island remains the only safe haven for the species. The current total 

population, though substantial, is still vulnerable being concentrated on only one 

island. Therefore, the need for translocation of the Yadua Taba island Crested Iguana 

population to a conservation site is critical, but in avoidance of cross-breeding with 

other populations and more so with other iguana species. 

The survey team comprised the following personnel - Marika Tuiwawa (South Pacific 

Regional Herbarium, USP), Isaac Rounds (Conservation International), Jone Niukula 

(National Trust Fiji), Saras Sharma (Fiji Department Fisheries) & Nunia Thomas 

(NatureFiji/Mareqeti/Viti). 

Methods 

Opportunistic fauna and floral surveys were conducted from Saturday 31 st October to 

Sunday 1 st November 2008 on the island of Makodraga next to Makogai Island. The 

surveys were conducted by walking through and across the island (in the forest), 

along the coastal forest; and around the island by boat. 

In addition a brief summary on the result of a Crested Iguana survey by Peter Harlow 

and Rob Fischer in February 2010 will be highlighted in the Herpetofauna section. 

Results 

Herpetofauna 

Opportunistic diurnal herpetofauna surveys were conducted from 11am to 3pm on 

two days (31/10/09 and 01/11/09). The presence of known plants of importance to 

the diet of Fiji’s native iguanas was noted; and their locations recorded. Geographical 

Positioning Systems (GPS) data of potential iguana breeding sites were recorded 

using a Thales Mobile Mapper TM . One targeted nocturnal survey for iguanas was 

5

conducted from 6pm to 8pm on the second day (01/11/2009) within the agreed ideal 

iguana habitat on the island (Figure 1). 

Four native and one introduced species of herpetofauna were encountered over the 

two days of survey: Emoia cyanura, E. impar, Cryptoblepharus eximus, Candoia 

bibroni and Lepidodactylus lugubris. Two of the native species are endemic to Fiji. 

No herpetofauna was found during the nocturnal survey (Table 1). 

One native, endemic species (Brachylophus bulabula or B. fasciatus) and the 

introduced invasive cane toad (Bufo marinus) were reported by the inhabitants of 

nearby Makogai Island to be occasionally present on Makodraga.

Several iguana breeding sites were identified along the south-eastern part of the island 

(Figure 1) , where the soil was relatively soft with less boulders (Figure 2) compared 

to the north western side (Figure 3). 

A survey by P. Harlow and R. Fisher in February 2010 with good weather established 

the presence of the Fiji Banded Iguana on Makodraga Island and they estimated a 

population of 2000 individuals on the island. 

Skink abundance 

Ground skinks were common within the forest to the north-west of Makodraga Island 

and along the slopes from ‘Peak 1’ to ‘look out point’. Not many skinks were 

observed along the south-eastern part of the island (from ‘creek bed’ to ‘ficus’.

Makodraga Island during the survey from 31 st October to 01 st November 2009. 

Figure 2: A potential iguana breeding site with relatively little boulders and loose 

cobbles located in the south-eastern part of the island.

Targeted Nocturnal Survey for Iguanas 

A site for a targeted nocturnal survey was selected based on the presence of a dense 

patch of Hibiscus tiliaceus in the south-western part of the island (Figure 1). 

The targeted nocturnal survey was conducted over two hours after dark (18:00 – 

20:00). Cloud cover and rainfall were 100% and heavy respectively before and during 

the two hours survey. 

No iguanas were found during the survey. 

Weather Conditions 

Cloud (80% cover) and heavy rainfall were prevalent on both days of the survey; with 

only a maximum of 3 hours of strong sunshine. 

Figure 3: The ground cover of the north-western parts of the island is dominated by 

boulders and loose cobbles. 

Discussion 

It is highly likely that not all resident herpetofauna were recorded during this survey. 

The observed differences in skink abundance between different parts of the island are 

probably not indicative of their distribution and require further investigation. The 

presence of two endemic skinks: C. cryptoblepharus and E. concolor is encouraging. 

Makodraga had been experiencing a dry spell prior to the survey. The effects of the 

dry spell were evident in the dry (flammable) ground cover; making the island and its 

resident fauna and flora very vulnerable to fires. The fact that not a single Iguana was 

observed during the nocturnal survey was solely due to the very bad weather 

conditions (wind and rain) encountered prior and during the survey. 

8

The survey two months later by P. Harlow and R. Fisher was carried out in ideal 

conditions thus the discovery of a good population of Brachylophus cf. bulabula. 

Birds 

Birds surveys during this visit were more opportunistic than methodical, conducted on 

both days (31/10/09 – 1/11/09) on Makodraga with an extra day (2/11/09) for 

Makogai Island. 

Eighteen land birds were encountered on Makodraga, six of which are endemic to the 

Fiji Islands while two are regional endemic species. Please refer to Table 2 for the list 

of birds recorded during the survey. 

Notable observations are that of the high frequency of Friendly Ground Dove 

(Gallicolumba stairi) nests encountered, the lowest seen on a branch growing at 

around 1.7m above ground. Apart from the nests, another sign of successful breeding 

was the capture of a juvenile feeding on the ground beneath a strand of Beach 

Hibiscus (Hibiscus tiliaceus). 

Figure 4 – signs of successful breeding for Friendly Ground Dove 

An adult male was found dead with its head stuck in a notch on a dead tree trunk, in 

which a pool of water had accumulated. (Refer to Figure 5)

Figure 5 – male Friendly Ground Dove stuck on a notch trying to get to the pool of 

water. 

The only bird that was never heard calling but observed perched and flying below the 

canopy is the Fiji Goshawk, a bird of prey that has the potential to prey on other 

animals. One that has been recorded feeding on iguanas in Yadua Taba is the Pacific 

Harrier, of which two pairs were sighted flying over the hills on Makogai Island. 

Open grasslands that are nesting sites for harriers are seldom on Makodraga but 

observed on nearby Makogai.

Makodraga and Makogai Islands, under the Birds and Game Protection Act, are the 

only two islands in the Fiji archipelago that are completely reserved areas in respect 

of all game.

[Quote from the Birds and Game Protection Act – Cap. 170 Rev. 1985] 

Game birds include Fijian Wood Pigeon, Peale’s Pigeon or Barking Pigeon (Ducula 

latrans) and the fruit doves. 


• Proper birds survey is to be conducted 

• Rat survey is recommended, especially on the current density as Friendly Ground 

Dove breeding appears to be very successful 

• Research: Does the Fiji Goshawk feed on iguanas?? 


According to Keppel and Tuiwawa (2007) the vegetation type of Makodraga Island 

would be described as Tropical Dry Forest found in the Dry Zone Forests of Fiji 

comprising coastal (including mangroves) and lowland plants. Three habitat/forest 

types were observed and they included the Coastal or Beach Forest Type, Dry Forest 

Type, and the Mangrove Forest. 

Coastal or Beach Forest Type 

Such forest type is restricted immediately above the high water mark along the 

coastline (Fig 7). On the flat sections of the coastline this forest type is extensive and 

here some of the more dominant trees like Pisonia grandis, Barringtonia asiatica and 

Terminalia catappa occur. 

12

Figure 7. Coastal Forest Type with dominant evergreen like Terminalia catappa, 

Barringtonia asiatica and Pisonia grandis. The deciduous (tree without leaves) tree 

Gyrocarpus americanus on the slopes. 

Other common large trees include Hernandia nymphaeifolia, Thespesia populnea, 

Neisosperma oppositifolium, Calophyllum inophyllum, and Cocos nucifera. These 

trees on average had heights of up to 12m with boles of 2-3m. The largest tree 

measured was Terminalia catappa with dbh of 96cm. Shrubs and sub canopy trees 

observed included Hibiscus tiliaceus, Guetarda speciosa, Excoecaria agallocha, 

Acacia simplex and Scaevola taccada. 

Mangrove Forest 

The mangrove forest is not extensive and is restricted only to the south east coast 

covering an area of about 600 m 2 . Here a small stand of Rhizophora cf. stylosa was 

observed. Trees on average grew to three meters in height with an average dbh of 

about 35cm. 

Dry Forest 

The rest of the island is mostly made up of this forest type. The bole of the trees on 

average has lengths of about 3m and leaves are sclerophyllous. There are a lot of 

woody lianas and Cycas seemannii (Fig 8). Deciduous trees and shrubs found in the 

forest type included Gyrocarpus americanus, Pleiogynium timoriense, Millettia 

pinnata, Erythrina variegata and Antirhea insconspicua. Two other deciduous plants 

normally found on such forest were not observed - Koeluteria elegans and Garuga 

floribunda. Lianas and creepers include Entada phaseoloides, Ventilago vitiensis and 

Dichapetalum vitiense and are common throughout the island. 

The ground cover is covered with sparsely dispersed woody plants like Alyxia sp, 

Nephrolepsis sp., the grasses Scleria sp. and Oplismenus sp. 

Overall there is evidence of previous grazing and fire but no recent sign of such 

activities. The Island overall has only a handful of invasive species that have very 

little ecological impact.

Flora 

A total of 89 taxa were recorded during the two day survey comprising of nine 

exotics, nine endemic and 71 indigenous species (see Appendix 1). The majority of 

the plants recorded were trees comprising 73% (65 spp.) of the flora followed by 

lianas and creepers with 14% (12 spp.), shrubs 9% (8 spp.) and ferns 4% (4 spp.). The 

three largest groups are the families Fabaceae with twelve species followed by 

Euphorbiaceae with six species and Rubiaceae and Apocynaceae with four species 

each. These four groups comprise 25% of the overall flora of Makogadra island. 

The invasive species observed during the survey included Mikania micrantha and 

Passiflora foetida. Other weedy and noxious plants recorded include Lantana camara, 

Samanea saman, Vernonia cinerea and Mangifera indica.

Discussion 

The Dry Forest vegetation on Makogadra is one of the best observed throughout Fiji. 

There are very few problematic plants on the island and their density is so low that 

they pose very little negative ecological impact not only with their current status but 

with any attempt to remove them. 

More than 90% of plants observed during the survey are also present on Yadua Taba 

and almost all of these are plants species used by the Crested Iguana as food. 

The island is also an ideal location for the ex situ conservation for some of Fiji’s more 

threatened dry forest and/or drier zone threatened species. 


• Additional survey of the flora is essential 

• Eradication and Control of invasive and weeds (potentially problematic plants) 

• A formal protected status for the island should be pursued.

different genera and 28 families. There are undoubtedly new species to be discovered and 

described. Two hundred and sixteen of the known species are native (indigenous) of which 

167 are endemic (known only from Fiji). The fauna is thus characterised by 77% endemism, 

confirming the importance of the unique Fijian land snail fauna at a national, regional and 

global level. The majority, but not all, of the endemic species are found in native forest. 

In addition, there are 18 introduced species with variable risk levels to agricultural 

productivity, biodiversity loss or human and livestock health. Priorities for land snail species 

conservation assessment, quarantine, health and agricultural risk are provided. The 

consequences of not collating and utilising existing information includes risks to, unique 

biodiversity, human and livestock health, agricultural crop production and in turn will have 

potential economic implications for sustainable livelihoods and trade. 

Background 


recognized by Conservation International as one of 25 key locations for conserving the 

world’s biodiversity. A large proportion of the land-based fauna in this hotspot is endemic (a 

unique occurrence of species within a limited geographic area) but the distribution and status 


invertebrate-animal groups. This lack of baseline information limits our ability to conserve it 

and from this perspective alone documenting Fiji’s land invertebrate biodiversity resources 

are of global conservation importance. 

Globally, land snails are in decline and the unique Pacific Island fauna is particularly 

threatened (Lydeard et al. 2004). Land snail research projects undertaken in Hawaii, Samoa, 

New Caledonia and French Polynesia have found very high levels of endemism but also 

alarmingly that many endemics are either extinct or under considerable threat from habitat 

destruction, human development and/or introduced species (Hadfield 1986, Cowie 2000, 

2004, Bouchet & Abdou 2003, Brescia et al. 2008).

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 

The diverse native land snail fauna of Fiji appears to be moving in a similar direction. 

Ecologically and historically the Fijian fauna is primarily connected to areas of native forest, 

a fact vital to understanding that this unique fauna cannot be conserved without protection of 

relatively large areas of native vegetation from land clearing and invasive species, such as 

ants and predatory snails. These latter species are often accidently introduced by humanrelated 

activities such as logging, cattle farming, pig hunting and the movement of crop 

materials from one area to another. 

Over the last 100 years the Fijian land snail fauna has been investigated by a large number 

of overseas visitors and a few Fijian residents (see review by Barker, 2005). As a result of 

this we now have a draft checklist of the land species present in Fiji and an associated 

distributional database. Leading from this an annotated and illustrated catalogue to the Fijian 

land snail fauna is currently in progress (Barker & Bouchet, in preparation). In addition to 

this, collation of basic identification and biological information about Fiji’s introduced land 

snails is now underway at the University of the South Pacific (Biology Division). It is 

expected that this USP project will produce fact sheets, a field guide and a web-based key to 

aid quick identification of introduced species that may pose considerable threat to 

agricultural trade (crop pests) and human health (parasite vectors). 

A Fijian land snail distributional database was developed by Landcare New Zealand and the 

Wildlife Conservation Society with the goal of using the spatial information species and 

communities to assist setting reservation priorities within the Fijian archipelago, and to 

determine the adequacy of environmental domain classifications as surrogates for biotic 

pattern (Barker 2003 & 2005). This work contributed to the “Priority Forests for 

Conservation” network proposed by Olson et al. (2009). This ecological land snail work and 

the distributional database need to be merged and adapted more fully into the current Fijian 

government frameworks. 

There is also a need for local up-skilling and more research in the areas of taxonomy, life 

history and conservation biology plus strengthened development of local access to 

information in usable formats. 

Terminology & Classification 

According to Haynes (1998) land snails in Fiji are collectively referred to as “sici vanua” or 

“sirikoko”. Despite several common endemic and introduced species being relatively large 

(> 35 mm) there appears to be no specific Fijian names for different species. This does not 

result from a lack of historical presence in the environment but could be because snails are 

cryptic and predominantly nocturnal, not often being seen during daylight hours unless 

actively searched for in their daytime refuges. 

Land snails belong to the invertebrate animals a vast group of organisms noticeably 

neglected in our estimates of biodiversity even at a global level. The term land ‘snail’ is used 

in this summary when referring to both ‘snails’ and ‘slugs’. ‘Snail’ refers to a gastropod 

2


__________________________________________________________________________________________ 

possessing a fully developed shell, capable of housing the retracted animal. ‘Slug’ refers to 

the gastropod body form where the shell is reduced to the extent that it is no longer capable 

of housing the animal. Slugs are simply snails with a reduced or absent shell. 

Snail Biodiversity 


different genera and 28 families (Table 1). Among these are 37 undescribed species (Barker 

2005; Barker & Bouchet, unpubl. data) but there are undoubtedly more species that await 

discovery. Additionally, Barker (2005) also records an additional 11 described species that 

are of unconfirmed status as their taxonomy is unresolved. 

Of the 245 species known for the Fiji Archipelago 216 are native (indigenous) of which 167 

are endemic (known only from Fiji). The fauna is thus characterised by 77% endemism, 

confirming the importance of the unique Fijian fauna at a national, regional and global level. 

In addition, there are 18 introduced species, comprising a mixture of tropical tramp species 

and a few introductions from further afield. 

How many of Fiji’s native species are threatened is presently unknown however, what is 

certain is that without adequate information to enable species identification and limited 

knowledge on distributions and life history characteristics it is very hard to make informed 

decisions on conservation priorities. And without any conservation measures at all in place 

the words of the snail specialist Alan Solem in 1964 given below will undoubtedly soon be 

true. 

“The famed endemic land snails of the Pacific islands are restricted to the 

rapidly shrinking patches of native forest. In all too short a time the land 

snail fauna of the Pacific islands will consist solely of a homogeneous 

blend of the introduced forms …. It is with a real sense of sadness that I 

have attempted to chronicle for the terrestrial malacologist of 2020 the 

places where the living land snails of Polynesia and Micronesia 

originated!” Solem (1964). 

The majority of the Fiji Island native and endemic land snail fauna appears to be associated 

with native forest habitat (Table 2). However thirty-five members of three different families 

(Assimineidae, Ellobiidae and Truncatellidae) are associated with supralittoral or high 

intertidal habitats. According to Barker (2005) thirty-one of these 35 “high intertidal” species 

are native and this includes six endemic species (Table 3). Four additional species of “high 

intertidal” land snail are described but of unconfirmed taxonomic status. 

Away from the ocean Fiji’s land snail fauna also differs in its habitat location, for example, 30 

species (17% of snail species for which data is available) are generally found to be arboreal 

(in vegetation above ground level) while 137 species are found at ground level (terrestrial) in 

leaf litter or under rotting wood. Only 5% of land snail species for which data is available 

commonly exhibit both arboreal and terrestrial activity (Table 4). 

3


__________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Based on the unpublished report of Barker (2005) several locations (e.g., isolated islands in 

the Lau Group; Rotuma) have assemblages of native species that should be conserved. The 

most obvious priority is the very isolated island of Rotuma which according to Barker (2005) 

is known for 6 endemic species from 5 different families, including a member of the Pacific 

Island flagship partulid tree snails - a group designated as a high conservation priority for the 

Pacific Island region by the IUCN (Pippard, IUCN-Oceania, pers. comm.). The current status 

of the Rotuman land snail fauna is unknown as there have been no surveys for a century. 

Land snail surveys of Rotuma are a high conservation priority not only because of the 

island’s highly significant land snail records but because of the substantially increased 

extinction-risk levels that will result from the island’s imminent conversion to a registered port 

of entry for the Fijian Islands. Potential new species introductions will without doubt be 

associated with the resulting trade developments. 

Seven of the 28 land snail families found in Fiji consist solely of introduced fauna 

(Valloniidae, Ariophantidae, Subulinidae, Streptaxidae, Bradybaenidae, Agriolimacidae, 

Zonitidae). The family Pupillidae has two introduced species and one endemic member while 

the shell-less family Vaginulidae (= Veronicellidae), commonly known as “leatherleaf” slugs, 

includes two introduced and one native species i.e., Semperula wallacei (Issel, 1874). As 

mentioned by Barker (2005) this latter native species is likely to have been confused with the 

introduced members of the family. Unfortunately to date no identification guide or key exists 

to aid identification and separation of this native species from the introduced members of the 

family however preparation of such tools are now in progress. 

Besides the taxonomic identification obstacles, which are currently being addressed, all of 

the eighteen known introduced species are considered to pose some level of potential “risk” 

for either agricultural productivity, biodiversity loss or human and livestock health (Brodie & 

Barker, in review). Some of these species have been present in Fiji for well over 30 years 

(Barker, 1979) and the soon to be published preliminary risk assessment is timely. 

We need to know more about the biology and life history of existing introductions to enable 

more robust and specific risk assessment in the future and we also need to investigate 

lessons learnt else where for preventing avenues (pathways) for further introductions (e.g. 

see Cowie 2008). 

Priority Groups for Quarantine & Human Health 

Fiji is very fortunate in having so far stopped populations of the world’s two most high risk 

invasive land snails; namely the “Rosy Wolf Snail” Euglandina rosea (Férussac 1821) and 

the “Giant African Snail” Lissachatina [Achatina] fulica Bowdich, 1822 from becoming 

established. There is no doubt that the Fiji Government agricultural and quarantine services 

must be duly acknowledged for their hard work in achieving this, when so many of our 

Pacific Island trading partners have already suffered greatly from these two devastating 

invasive species. 

4


__________________________________________________________________________________________ 

The Fiji Islands however, does have at least 18 introduced species with variable risk levels 

to agricultural productivity, biodiversity loss or human and livestock health (Brodie & Barker, 

in review). Based on a comparison of our current observations (Mila et al. 2010; Brodie & 

Copeland, submitted; Brodie, in press; Brodie, unpublished data) and past observations 

(Solem, 1978; Barker, 1979; Haynes 1998) some introduced species e.g. Bradybaena 

similaris (Rang, 1831) and Quantula striata (Gray 1834) have obviously increased in 

abundance, at least on the largest island of Viti Levu. 

However, the most worrying “new” snail introduction absent in the reports by Solem (1978) 

and Haynes (1998) is the presence and very obvious increase in abundance and distribution 

of the “semi-slug” Parmarion martensi Simroth 1893 (Figure 1). First officially reported in Fiji 

by Barker (2005), but known from southeast Viti Levu from as early as 1979 this species is 

now numerous and widespread in areas of human habitation, and alarmingly has also 

recently been found (Brodie, in press; Brodie & Copeland, submitted; Brodie unpublished 

data) in three of Fiji’s high priority forest areas highlighted by Olsen et al. (2009). 

In addition to its newly reported highly invasive status in Fiji by Brodie & Barker (in review) P. 

martensi is also considered by these authors as a potential high-risk vector in Fiji for the rat 

lung worm Angiostrongylus cantonensis (Chen, 1935). This parasitic worm is associated with 

eosinophilic meningitis in humans. Angiostrongylus cantonensis and eosinophilic meningitis 

are already established in Fiji (Alicata 1962, Uchikawa et al. 1984, Sano et al. 1987, Paine et 

al. 1994) and is commonly reported as associated with less “risky” invasive snail species 

such as the “leatherleaf” slug Laevicaulis alte (Férussac, 1822). 

However, recent discovery by the first author of a living Bradybaena similaris (Rang, 1831) in 

salad sold at a popular BBQ take-away stand in Suva City (Figure 2) highlights the reality of 

the potential for future health problems, particularly when many families, communities and 

tourism facilities are being actively encouraged to grow their own salad vegetables. As 

recently highlighted by senior Koronivia Research Station staff (pers. comm.), there is a 

strong need to investigate the life history characteristics and parasite infection levels of all 

introduced land snail species in Fiji. 

Priority Groups for Conservation & Biodiversity Assessment 

Fiji’s 167 endemic land snail species are very diverse, spanning 19 families (Table 1). Two 

groups in particular stand out as achievable species-level conservation priorities. These are: 

(a) Fiji’s 12 endemic species of the taxon Placostylus, eight of which are found on only one 

island each in the Fiji group (see Figure 3 for an idea of what members of this genus look 

like); and (b) members of the taxon Trochomorpha which according to Barker (2005) has at 

least 18 species endemic to Fiji (see Figure 4 for an example of this genus). 

Besides the above groups, two additional groups are highlighted in the literature as 

extinction prone on islands because of their vulnerability to introduced predators – these are 

the microsnails of the family Endodontidae and members of the family Rhytididae. The 

endemic members of the supralittoral snails (families Ellobiidae and Truncatellidae) should 

5


__________________________________________________________________________________________ 

also be given some attention as they could well be directly impacted by the affects of climate 

change. 

In addition the families Diplommatinidae and Assimineidae, with 15 and 12 as yet 

undescribed species respectively, should also be taxonomically revised for biodiversity 

assessment purposes. 

Conclusion 

Fiji has a large number of native (endemic and non-endemic) land snail species that require 

detailed conservation assessment. 

Non-endemic natives are also important because Fiji could be significant for conservation if 

these species become threatened or locally extinct elsewhere in their range. 

Introduced species are widening their distribution within Fiji and creating a homogenisation 

of the Fijian land snail fauna just like that already recorded across the Pacific Islands by 

Solem (1964) and Cowie (2001). 

There is a need for, scientific human resource capacity building, specialised training about 

land snails and general awareness raising of the presence and significance of snails in the 

environment, at a local level. Support for at least one postgraduate student scholarship, 

funding for a two-day workshop on introduced snails every two years and an increase in 

media coverage would substantially address these capacity, training and awareness issues. 

For introduced, native and endemic fauna there is an immediate need for collation of existing 

information into a form that can be made readily available for utilisation by resource 

managers and other community stakeholders. Funding is required for the preparation of 

photographic images in the Fiji land snail catalogue currently in progress and also for 

obtaining expert curation of material held in Fiji, as well as repatriation of at least some Fijian 

material held in overseas institutions. 

The consequences of not collating and utilising existing information includes unrecognised 

risks to, unique biodiversity, human and livestock health, agricultural crop production and in 

turn will have potential economic implications for sustainable livelihoods and trade.

GLOBAL FOREST RESOURCES 

ASSESSMENT 2010 

COUNTRY REPORT

FRA2010/068 

Rome, 2010

The Forest Resources Assessment Programme 

Sustainably managed forests have multiple environmental and socio-economic functions important at the global, 

national and local scales, and play a vital part in sustainable development. Reliable and up-to-date information 

on the state of forest resources - not only on area and area change, but also on such variables as growing stock, 

wood and non-wood products, carbon, protected areas, use of forests for recreation and other services, biological 

diversity and forests’ contribution to national economies - is crucial to support decision-making for policies and 

programmes in forestry and sustainable development at all levels. 

FAO, at the request of its member countries, regularly monitors the world’s forests and their management and 

uses through the Forest Resources Assessment Programme. This country report forms part of the Global Forest 

Resources Assessment 2010 (FRA 2010). 

The reporting framework for FRA 2010 is based on the thematic elements of sustainable forest management 

acknowledged in intergovernmental forest-related fora and includes variables related to the extent, condition, 

uses and values of forest resources, as well as the policy, legal and institutional framework related to forests. 

More information on the FRA 2010 process and the results - including all the country reports - is available on the 

FRA Web site (www.fao.org/forestry/fra ). 

The Global Forest Resources Assessment process is coordinated by the Forestry Department at FAO 

headquarters in Rome. The contact person for matters related to FRA 2010 is:

Comments: 

Fiji now has a new forest definition which was used during the latest NFI which was carried 

out from 2006-2008. Under the new forest definition, the former Dense and Medium Dense 

Forest classes are now combined to form the current forest class “Closed Forest”; the former 

class “Scattered Forest” is now called “Open Forest”. Therefore, the row “Closed Forest” in 

table 1.2.3, is the total of the old classes “Dense and Medium Dense Forests” in years 1991 and 

2007. 

The classes “Non Forests” and “Inland Water Bodies” are now calculated for the first time and 

therefore did not appear in the 1991 data. 

Forest Areas are calculated using satellite data recorded in 2000, NFI mapping and field 

verification were done from 2006-2008, the dataset is referred to as 2007 dataset.

Comments: 

The data for 1991 and 2007 are now the two most reliable sets of forest area data from which a 

linear forest area extrapolation for 1990, and 2010 was done, and also the interpolation for the 

2000 and 2005 forest areas, since these are actual NFI years and the figures are from the actual 

NFI datasets within those two years. 

7


The total increase in open forests of 138668 hectares in 16 years comes from two sources: the 

reduced closed forest area of 117,065 hectares; and the balance of 21603 come from the areas 

that were defined as non forest during the 1991 NFI but are now defined as forest under the 

new Fiji forest definition, these balance area may seem small, the rest may have disappeared 

due to deforestation through agricultural activities. The re-defined threshold for forest is from 4 

hectares in the 1991 NFI down to 0.5 hectares in the 2007 NFI.

Comments: 

The Fiji NFI uses LandSat 7 satellite data for the classification of forest areas of everything 

with tree cover starting from 0.5 hectares and above from which forests are further categorised 

into the two forest density classes of Closed and Open forests. 

The figures maintained by FAOSTAT have been used for reporting on Inland water bodies.

Variable / category Comments related to data, definitions, 

etc. 

Forest An area of approximately 40 000 

hectares of mangroves is not included in 

the total forest area. The reason for 

exclusion is that the area of mangroves 

is not included in the total land area. 

Other wooded land 

Other land Calculated as total land area less area of 

Forest and area of Other wooded land.

Comments on the reported trend 

The total increase in open forests of 138668 

hectares in 16 years comes from two 

sources: the reduced closed forest area of 

117,065 hectares; and the balance of 21603 

come from the areas that were defined as 

non forest during the 1991 NFI but are now 

defined as forest under the new Fiji forest 

definition, these balance area may seem 

small, the rest may have disappeared due to 

deforestation through agricultural activities. 

The re-defined threshold for forest is from 4 

hectares in the 1991 NFI down to 0.5 

hectares in the 2007 NFI. 

Since there was no data available for the 

years before 2008, the 2008 value was used 

for the rest of the years back to 1990. 

Other general comments to the table 

The mapping exercise and data validation for the 2008 NFI is still to be finalised, a more refined version for T1 

may appear in the FRA 2015 report.

Comments: The above table is obtained from area calculations from the Forestry Land tenure 

GIS layers, however at the end, the totals don’t add up to the national land area total. This will 

need another calibration of the dataset to increase the total area by 242 012 hectares. 

It is understood that 85% of the total land area for Fiji is communally owned by natives. The 

total land area under the Native category in the above table only account for 71% of the total 

land area. Thus it is clear that the total Native land area needs to be increased. The data 

acquired for this forest statistics is extracted from seven islands and the other 39% can be 

accounted for the other islands which was not undertaken in this exercise. Since most of the 

land is communally owned, some selected areas are not surveyed as in this case due to pending 

ownership issues.

TOTAL 952.9 980.44 997.26 

The total area of land under public ownership (ie owned by the state), and those under freehold 

ownership has been decreasing since 1990 and the reason for this is that Government has been 

returning to the rightful owners the land that had been acquired form them when Fiji was a 

British Colony. So for 1990 there would be slightly more land under state ownership and 

freehold ownership, and slightly less under Native ownership. This includes both land under 

forests and those not under forests. Around 3% of total land area has shifted from State to 

Private (into Native Land) since 1990 as part of government long term strategy to revert the 

ownership of land to the rightful owners for those land that were unfairly bought. 

Since historical figures are not available on land tenure it would be impossible to do fill back to 

1990, but for the FRA 2015 T2 will have a trend for 5 years. This is the same for T2 and T2b, 

the same values that is calculated for 2008 are used for the year 2005. 

Does ownership of trees coincide with ownership of the Yes 

land on which they are situated? √ No 

If No above, please describe below how the two differ: 

In the mahogany and pine plantations, the companies leased the land for which the 

plantations are grown. As the result the Forest Companies owns the trees while the 

indigenous/ tribal owners own the land. 

Government owns 90% share in the mahogany plantation and over 98% in the pine 

plantation the rest are owned by indigenous landowners

Public ownership Mainly state land or previously termed 

“crown” land which was brought about on 

the day of Colonialism for which land 

were subject to the Crown or the 

government. 

Private 

Private ownership can also be Freehold 

ownership land, for which the land belongs to the 

individual(s). 

Other types of 

ownership 

Management 

rights 

Communal Ownership can also be 

classified as Private ownership for which 

the land is managed by the mataqali or 

clan. 

Communities are responsible for 

management and decision making with 

regards to the utilisation of their land and 

forest resources. 

14 


Tenure classified as Stateland remains static 

for most State land are legally binded to 

remain with the State. 

Tenure classified as Freehold lands remain 

static, Freehold land does not get reclassified 

but remain within the control of the 

owner. 

Tenure under the Communal Ownership 

remains static. 

Government is in the process of reverting 

land ownership rights to the original owners. 


Description for all types of land tenure was obtained from the Fiji Department of Lands in 2009, including the 

general trend in the reversion of land ownership from private individuals whom are mostly foreigners to the 

indigenous owners.


3 Table T3 – Forest designation and management 


Term Definition 

Primary designated function The primary function or management objective assigned to a management unit 

either by legal prescription, documented decision of the landowner/manager, or 

evidence provided by documented studies of forest management practices and 

customary use. 

Protected areas Areas especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological 

diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources, and managed through 

legal or other effective means. 

Categories of primary designated functions 

Production Forest area designated primarily for production of wood, fibre, bio-energy 

and/or non-wood forest products.

Conservation of 

biodiversity 

Forest area designated primarily for conservation of biological diversity. 

Includes but is not limited to areas designated for biodiversity conservation 

within the protected areas. 

Social services Forest area designated primarily for social services. 

Multiple use Forest area designated primarily for more than one purpose and where none of 

these alone is considered as the predominant designated function. 

Other Forest areas designated primarily for a function other than production, 

protection, conservation, social services or multiple use. 

No / unknown No or unknown designation.

Plantation forest Man made forests, established for the production of industrial wood; includes 

all mahogany and pine plantations. 

Preserved Forest Areas of natural forest to be maintained in an undisturbed natural condition 

for the preservation of biological values. It includes all biodiversity forest 

conservation areas, forest parks and forest reserves. 

Protection Forest Areas of forest with 30 degrees slope and above. Timber harvesting or other 

forestry operations would be restricted to minor forest products or to manual 

or non-mechanized timber extraction. 

Multiple Use Natural Areas of forests that does not fall under any of the three above, and carrying 

Forest 

indigenous forest vegetation to be maintained under forest cover and to be 

managed for the purpose of timber production, catchment protection, wildlife 

habitat, forest recreation and amenity uses and for minor forest products.. 


(Area units:1000hectares) 

The data for the table T3 is the result of a calculation that is based from the forest areas 

calculated in T1. The data for the following FRA categories are obtained: 

“Production”: The data source for the FRA category “Production” in T3 is the calibrated areas 

from T1 for the four years which includes all plantation areas for pines and mahogany. 

“Protection of soil and water”: The area under this category remains the same from the 

previous estimate. 

“Conservation of biodiversity”: The area under conservation of biodiversity is also the same 

area as that of 1990. 


The total area under “production forest” is the total areas of pine and mahogany plantations for 

the four years. 

Areas classified under protection forests are the same from 1990 to 2005, and decreases for 

2010 as the definition for protection forest under the 2008 NFI has changed to only include 

slope (>30 deg) but includes other factors as: soil erosivity; rainfall seasonality, and rainfall 

intensity. 

Area under Multiple Use is calculated for the years 1990 to 2005 but comes straight from the 

NFI dataset for the year 2007 projected to 2010. 


There is no need to calibrate the area of plantations. The total of Protection natural forest areas, Preserved natural 

forest areas and multiple use forest is calibrated with the T1 forest area less area of plantations. 

16


Calibrated national data: 

Since the areas for Production, Protection, and Preserved Forests, are known, only the area of 

the multiple use is calibrated to match up the national forest area from T1 which includes area 

of Forest and Other Wooded Land.

Production The increase in the plantation areas is due to the 

expansion in the planting programme in mahogany and 

pine during the period 1990 to 2005. 

Protection of soil 

and water 

Conservation of 

biodiversity 

The reduction in the area classified as protection forest is 

due to the change in definition. During the 2008 NFI, 

protection forests only includes forest areas of 30 degrees 

and above, however, in 1991 it also includes other factors 

as rainfall, soil erosivity, and rainfall intensity, so the 

area covered was much larger. 

In 2005 another 20,000 ha was added to the area of 

conservation forest, but in 2010 the total area of protected 

area in Fiji will dramatically increase due to current boost 

in conservation activities in the country. 

Social services 

Multiple use The increase is due to the re-classification of forest area 

in 2007 in which only slope classes was used to classify 

Protection Forest Areas whereas in 1991 NFI slope was 

used with other factors such as rainfall and soil 

erodibility which increases the area.

Volumes removed are expected to increase for 

mahogany due to new sawmills and logging 

contractors entering. Also softwood volumes 

expected to rise when an additional processing 

plant comes on line 

The increase in fuel wood intake is due to the 

heavy reliance by manufacturing industries on 

hog fuel. This is mainly due to the rising fuel 

costs 

Unit value Based on local currency/m3 under bark Unit value is estimated backwards from current 

best estimate of current log prices. 

Total value Total value of logs from indigenous and 

plantation forests 


Total value is derived from the averages of the

Forestry – The decrease in staffing is due to the compulsory retirement at the age of 55 years 

Logging – More jobs on logging as a result of mahogany harvesting and is still increasing based on pending 

applications from companies that wish to harvest and process mahogany including the new softwood 

processing plant that will come on line soon.

The increase is due to the graduating 

students from the Forestry Training

The downward trend results from the 

unavailability of forestry scholarships 

for overseas studies. The existing 

scholarship offered by the government 

caters for both categories of the 

employment classes and not 

specifically targeting the upskilling of 

forestry staff


17 Table T17 – Public revenue collection and expenditure 



Forest revenue All government revenue collected from the domestic production and trade of 

forest products and services. For this purpose, forest products include: 

roundwood; sawnwood; wood-based panels; pulp and paper; and non-wood forest 

products. As far as possible, this should include revenue collected by all levels of 

government (i.e. central, regional/provincial and municipal level), but it should 

exclude the income of publicly owned business entities. 

Public expenditure All government expenditure on forest related activities (further defined below). 

Operational expenditure

information 


Annual Report 

All government expenditure on public institutions solely engaged in the forest 

sector. Where the forest administration is part of a larger public agency (e.g. 

department or ministry), this should only include the forest sector component of 

the agency’s total expenditure. As far as possible, this should also include other 

institutions (e.g. in research, training and marketing) solely engaged in the forest 

sector, but it should exclude the expenditure of publicly owned business entities. 

All government expenditure on direct financial incentives paid to nongovernment 

and private-sector institutions, enterprises communities or 

individuals operating in the forest sector to implement forest related activities. 

Public expenditure funded from domestic public financial resources, including: 

retained forest revenue; forest-related funds; and allocations from the national 

budget (i.e. from non-forest sector public revenue sources). 

Public expenditure funded from grants and loans from donors, non-governmental 

organisations, international lending agencies and international organisations, 

where such funds are channelled through national public institutions.
