Resisting exploitation in the Solomon Islands An interview with Ian Aujare World's largest open-pit tin mine, Ariquemes, Rondonia, Brazil From the British colonial occupation to World War II battles, the Solomon Islands have endured many waves of powerful, uninvited and exploitative guests. The most recent are Malaysian-owned logging corporations, which are behind the massive deforestation of the nation. These foreign firms stand accused of everything from desecrating sacred sites to soil erosion to the pollution of the sea and local water supply. Solomon Islander Ian Aujare is an organizer for the Zazao Environmental Rights Organization which is working in Santa Isabel Province to address the grave environmental impact there of the globalized logging industry. He recently addressed the United Nations during the historic first session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.

SPECIAL REPORT "SOLOMON ISLANDS - STRIVING TOWARDS ECOTOURISM" by Laura ELL* Dance troup preparing for hotel performance INTRODUCTION The Solomon Islands, a country in the South Pacific Ocean, east of Papua New Guinea, has the potential to be more involved in nature-based sustainable tourism, as it has many attractive natural, historical, and cultural landmarks and has not developed mass tourism. Nonetheless, there are many challenges facing the people of these breathtaking tropical islands, in capitalizing on an ecotourism model. DESCRIPTION OF THE SOLOMON ISLANDS The country consists of 992 islands and is the third largest archipelago in the South Pacific. The islands were formed approximately 25 million years ago by volcanic activity, which makes the geomorphology of the area dramatically interesting. Rainforests and coral reefs abound, as well as a unique culture. The Solomon Islands is a developing country with limited infrastructure - outside the capital, Honiara, life is very simple.

See http://www.intervention.dk/ for additional introduction. Jari Kupiainen (Centre for Media Culture, University of Joensuu, Finland) The anthropological study and doctoral dissertation, Tradition, Trade and Woodcarving in Solomon Islands Images of tropical paradise islands as related to my study are greatly devalued by the current ethnic conflict and civil war taking place in Solomon Islands, especially in the national capital Honiara and its surroundings. This conflict centres particularly between the peoples of Malaita and Guadalcanal Islands and seriously threatens the very existence of the Solomon Islands state in its present form. From this perspective, my attempt at writing a study that extends to the present day seems to have failed. The conflict has transferred the ethnographic present of the study into ethnographic past, because the present-day Solomon Islands society has been fundamentally altered since late 1998, when the conflict began to escalate. The current situation in the country remains chaotic in spite of the Townsville Peace Agreement (15.10.2000) between the principal warring parties, Malaita and Guadalcanal, which has until today been unable to restore the civil society in the country.

The identity of photography as a medium and its phenomenological status is, from the outset, assumed as given. There is no concern for what photography actually is in different cultural contexts. Recognizing photographs as material culture is a way to address this blind spot, and suggests that any methodological use of them requires a more complex and subtle approach.
