O Le Pupu-Puʿe National Park

O Le Pupu-Puʿe National Park is the oldest national park in Samoa, established in 1978 to protect a remarkable stretch of the island's southern-central landscape on the island of Upolu. The park occupies approximately 50 square kilometers across the Atua and Tuamasaga districts, extending from Mount Fito, the highest peak on Upolu, down to the Pacific Ocean coastline. This east-to-west transect captures virtually the entire range of forest types found on the island, from montane cloud forest through lowland forest to littoral vegetation along the shore. The park is named for the prominent O Le Pupu lava field and the mountainous terrain that defines its central character. In 2016, the park received international recognition as a Ramsar wetland of significance, acknowledging its ecological importance beyond just terrestrial conservation.
