Abstract
This chapter analyses the inscription of East Rennell on the World Heritage List, explaining how the values for which the site was listed and the site’s boundaries influence conservation efforts. The chapter then explores the site’s protection, laying a foundation for more detailed analysis in later chapters. It outlines the threats to the site, and the Solomon Islands government’s plan to address those threats. Key social, cultural, and economic issues influencing World Heritage conservation in Solomon Islands are also discussed. The chapter argues that in the design of conservation initiatives, the economic constraints of the government, the development aspirations of the East Rennellese people, and Solomon Islanders’ reverence for the rights of customary landowners cannot be ignored.
