Acknowledgments The authors recognise the significant contribution of Joseph Tungon and Michael Tabi during fieldwork for this study. The interviews and sampling of planted sandalwood were made possible through the assistance of Joseph Tungon, Michael Tabi, Jeffery Lahva, Ioan Viji, Mesek Sethy, Dick Tomker, Toufau Kalsakau, Simon Naupa, Samuel Lokre and Johnny Saman. The implementation of the project also depended on the cooperation provided by many people and communities throughout the course of the project. The authors express their gratitude for the assistance that all these people provided. Many people contributed valuable information during our surveys and discussions: Harry Atcha, Jim Batty, Sam Bol, Tony Bong, Tim Coakley, David Dahumbre, Foritungo Dahumbre, Yan Dapang, Jake David, Tom Iakau, Andrew Iawak, Edmond Julun, Joel Kalnpel, Jeffery Lhava, Manse Lovo, Josel Nakou, Tomkor Narai, Jonathan Naupa, Joseph Netvam, Willie Pakoa, Des Parkes, Johnny Saman, Numake Sumak, Michael Tabi, Ia Tamaute, Lex Thomson, Walter Thul, Weia Tira, Dick Tomker, Malachi Vele, Pierre Watas. General industry information and data were provided by Malcom Baker, Liz Barbour, Mike Claridge, Tim Coakley, Peter Jones, Bethan Lloyd, Grant Pronk and Ken Robson. The authors also appreciate the constructive input and valuable feedback of Dr Jonathan Cornelius of James Cook University in the drafting of this final report. This publication is dedicated to the memories of Atchinson Smith and Tarere Karae, both foresters with the Vanuatu Department of Forests who made valuable contributions to the research and development of forestry in Vanuatu. They were both highly regarded members of the department who unexpectedly lost their lives in 2009 and are greatly missed. 8
