Nature-Positive Business for Climate Critical Ecosystems, implemented in Fiji and Solomon Islands, is designed to maintain and enhance the functionality of linked climate critical ecosystems including reefs, mangroves and forests, through community-led approaches to resource management and nature-positive livelihoods.

The project will support communities in Fiji (Macuata and Ba Province) and Solomon Islands (Western Province) to develop mangrove management plans that integrate with existing fisheries management plans.

In parallel, in Fiji, key implementation partner Matanataki will identify nature-based solutions projects that have potential to be converted into viable nature-positive business models. Viable nature-positive business models will be identified through feasibility studies conducted early in the early stages of this project.

In Solomon Islands, seagrapes have been identified as the nature-positive business product of focus.

This project is funded under Component 1 of CRxN, supporting the expansion of existing nature-based solutions approaches.
