capital of fiji

so i saw the capital of fiji for the first time yesterday, its called suva....it was very impressive, it felt just like being in a big city in america, only tropical.....there were beautiful buildings with some really cool shops and restaurants....but as far as big cities go suva is it in fiji. peace corps environmental volunteers met with the ministers of fisheries, forestry, and environment in fiji today....there are 217 marine protected areas in fiji, thats up from just 10 in 1997....the news was not all encouraging though, only 5 percent of the original forest cover that existed before whites came here is still in its pristine state....also, we learned that conservation practices are still in their infancy here, there are few options to get rid of waste.... most is illegally dumped or burned since there is no trash pick up in rural villages.... in my village of naisogovau trash is just dumped in random spots, its kind of sad.....even in the villages people are becoming westernized and with that comes the accumulation of "stuff" that eventually ends up as trash... consumption is not nearly as high here as it is in america but i fear it may reach that level some day, in turn spoiling fiji's natural beauty and diversity.
