Eleven of the known Soga populations are in the Serua
Province, three in Namosi Province and two in Tailevu
Province. Working with the communities is best undertaken
with the understanding and support of the provincial
authorities. Consequently, a good understanding by the
provincial authorities of the threatened status of the Soga
and the need for management and use restrictions is vitally
important. Such understanding and support will provide the
foundation for working with the communities.
