Tetepare Island, Uninhabited tropical island in Western Province, Solomon Islands.

The original inhabitants, who spoke a distinct language and maintained specific traditions, departed from the island during the mid-nineteenth century.
More than 3000 descendants maintain customary land ownership through the Tetepare Descendants Association, which manages conservation efforts since 2002.
The Tetepare Eco Lodge provides accommodation in five traditional Melanesian leaf houses, operating with rainwater systems and solar-powered lighting.
The island harbors 230 bird species, 24 reptile species, 4 frog species, and 13 mammal species within its protected natural environment.
