I am a PhD Scholar presently pursuing research on the Contribution of Agroforestry Towards Rural Livelihoods and Forest Restoration. I am also an Instructor in Forestry at the Fiji National University.

I am interested in the natural environment and how to preserve and conserve our forests. Deforestation and degradation in the name of development and expansion are the main causes of unsustainable agriculture and this places a lot of risk on our natural resources, especially our forests and biodiversity. Unsustainable activities are slowly destroying our forests, so we need to encourage the concept of agroforestry. We need to influence and encourage people to be more economical and plant trees that are socially and ecologically important, ones that provide fruits and herbal medicine for instance, and those that retain soil and provide shelter and habitat.
