Samoa
Manono, Apolima and Nuulopa Cultural Landscape
Manono, Apolima, and Nuulopa Cultural Landscape is a series of three volcanic islands whose isolation from the two main islands of Samoa has allowed the three islands to maintain a traditional way of life for approximately 3000 years. Manono Island is covered with plantations and traditional villages, and, together with Apolima Island, has served in a peacekeeping role as an arbitrator between competing factions in Samoa. Nuulopa Island is home to the cemetery for the high chiefs of Manono, who are greatly respected in Samoa.
