Colo-i-Suva Forest, Viti Levu, Fiji. About 20 miles outside Suva. This is a relatively pristine forest, although once dominated by agriculture making most of it secondary. Nonetheless, it is far enough from the city that it remains protected from extensive pollution. It is convenient for both tourists and locals as a simple bus ride getaway. The trees are large, diverse, and loaded with mosses. Habitat is mostly wet, the forest itself part of watershed.
