GET TO KNOW OUR LEADERS
CEO Lealaisalanoa Frances Debra Brown- Reupena
In December of the previous year, Ms. Reupena was appointed to her current role during the final Cabinet meeting of that session. She emerged as one of five candidates vying for the prestigious position, ultimately securing the appointment due to her extensive qualifications and experience. Ms. Brown-Reupena takes over the leadership of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (M.N.R.E.) from Ulu Bismarck Crawley, who stepped down to pursue a candidacy in the general election 2021. With nearly ten years of dedicated service within the Ministry, she brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to her new role. Before her elevation to the Chief Executive Officer position, Ms. Brown-Reupena held the title of Assistant Chief Executive in the Environment Sector Coordination Division, in addition to serving as the Water and Sanitation Sector Coordinator for the Ministry. Her educational background includes being an alumna of St. Mary’s College, and after completing her preparatory year at the National University of Samoa in 1994, she furthered her studies in Fiji. This combination of practical experience and academic achievement positions her well to lead the Ministry in addressing the pressing environmental challenges facing the region.

However, invasive species have been threatening these species and the island’s ecosystem.
