The site is a nexus of sorts between the natural and cultural worlds: the largest tropical rain forest on any Pacific island with unique flora and fauna accompanied by the traditional Samoan cultural practices of Fa'a Samoa and the matai system[1].
This site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List on December 21, 2006 in the Mixed (Cultural + Natural) category[1].
