| NOTES: |
Over the centuries, Fijians have developed methods of shifting cultivation that ensured the optimum utilization of available resources without depleting the resourse base. |
| NOTES: |
On the ilsand of Matuku, for example, villagers were able to grow dalo (Colocasia esculenta) on the same swampy ground over many generations without resorting to fertilizers or reducing the yield. |
| NOTES: |
Traditional conservation practices have succeeded on Fiji because they were practical everyday responses to a relatively harsh environment. where the specialization of knowledge was essential for the continued exploitation of very limted resources. |
