With the inclination to protect the rain forests in the Savai'i in Samoa, the Tafua Peninsula Rainforest Preserve was founded in 1990. The park came into being with the aid of assistance received from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Seacology, and model Christie Brinkley.
The preserve has many passages running in the rainforest including a walking track to reach the Tafua volcanic crater. At this volcanic crater, you can find many unique Samoa Flying-fox bats. The other endangered bird type that has made this place its adobe is tooth-billed pigeon also known as Manumea and Didunculus strigirostris. It is also the national bird of Samoa.
The two fishing boats were introduced by Seacology in the reserve to facilitate the sources of income in the place for the villagers. The Tafua village is located just 6 km away from the main road. It is situated at the sea side on the Savai'i island, on a peninsula, in Palauli district. The yen to create the reserve would have been difficult to accomplish if the chiefs (matai) in the village would not have agreed to it. The population of the village is 408 according to 2006 Census.
