Details

The project will support young indigenous scientists from six PICs and community leaders from Fiji (Malolo) and PNG (Yule Island) to help restore compromised reef ecosystems (and linked mangrove habitats) and maintain the protective climate-related services they provide as a key Nature-based solution. This will be facilitated through climate adaptation training focusing on:

  • Propagation of heat tolerant corals in established nurseries

  • Local Marine Management Areas (LMMA)

  • Improved local breed chicken keeping as an alternative livelihood and food source

This project is funded under Component 2 of CRxN via the Pacific NbS Challenge.

  • Community-led coral reef restoration

    Building capacity to prevent the degradation and collapse of coral reef ecosystems in the face of climate change by applying a community-led, nature-based climate change adaptation solution in key Pacific Island Countries.
