This opportunity will allow Fialelei to gain practical conservation skills which he can apply on the ground in Samoa through appropriate related work experience and also give him a formal qualification. In particular, it will aid in his understanding of techniques which can be used in the reintroduction of the swallow tail butterfly to Samoa and the endangered Mao to American Samoa. It will also enable him to undertake practical conservation on the ground aimed at saving the critically endangered Manumea. As an orator of Samoa, he will be the person to build environmental support with the Chiefs in the many villages where the Manumea is hunted.
