2013年6月26日 · A traditional practice is conserving the niu afa coconut variety in Samoa. Pacific Islands News Association reports on Polymotu which build on ancient Polynesian practice used by Tongans for conserving sweet coconuts.

Here, we used a 3-D kinematic trajectory model (Computing Atmospheric Trajectory tool (CAT)) initiated from regional wind field data to assess the potential for long-distance seed dispersal (LDD)...

One of the most ingenious uses of one particular type of coconut tree, the Niu’afa, involves the processing of the coconut husk to produce ‘afa (coconut sennit). The ‘afa is made from the only terrestrial plant fibre resilient to salt water. ‘Afa is a strong and versatile cord that has significant cultural and utilitarian value to Samoa.

In Samoa, two small islands started in 2012 to be designed for a double objective: 1) conserve the niu afa and red dwarf varieties and 2) produce both Hybrid, Tall and Dwarf seednuts for farmers.

The size of the fruits and the color of coconut sprouts allows to visually differentiate between pure breeds of niu afa (green sprouts), the dwarfs (orange) and new hybrids produced (brown).

Samoa's sennit coconut may well be the longest in the world with husks up to 50cm long.

A proverb birthed from Filiga le ‘Afa “O le aso ma le Filiga, o le aso fo’i ma le mata’igatila” conceptually translates to the idea of carrying the same careful consideration and thought into one’s words and actions.

Extracting and braiding fibres from the Niu afa variety could be demonstrated and the resulting artefacts sold. Beyond ex situ genebanks, rationalizing coconut conservation can often be achieved by reducing the total number of coconut palms and simultaneously by increasing their genetic diversity.
