Fuiono Senio (died 17 May 1997) was a chief and environmentalist from Falealupo village on the island of Savai'i in Western Samoa.
As the loggers were about to start work, a visiting biologist offered to raise funds if logging stopped.
The loggers returned, and Senio ran in front of them and threatened them with a machete, telling them to go away.
This act became well known throughout the South Pacific, where similar problems affected many poor island communities.
