 NATIONAL FOREST SERVICE
Governmental responsibility for natural resources on Nauru lies with the Department of Island
Development and Industry, thus responsibility for forestry is nominally under its purview. The
Department’s wide-ranging responsibilities encompass Culture and Tourism, Lands and Survey,
and Environment. The Environment Division is responsible for the protection of Nauru’s natural
environment. Little attention is paid to forest management issues, but in the future,
reforestation activities carried out under the direction of the Nauru Rehabilitation Corporation
are likely to be of significance. A proposal for the establishment of a Ministry of Natural
Resources, within the Department of Agriculture, includes the establishment of a small
Forestry/Agroforestry Division.
