Fiji's Indigenous leaders are protecting nature for the long-term benefit of people

Journey to Fiji's Lau islands and learn how Indigenous leaders are conserving this pristine tropical archipelago and supporting local economies to deliver a sustainable future for people and nature.

How? Through the Lau Seascape Strategy, a visionary approach which promotes environmental and social outcomes. The strategy aims to maintain Lauan traditions and promote sustainable development while also delivering a comprehensive land and marine management approach for the province, which makes up over a quarter of Fiji's ocean area.

Supported by Conservation International, this 'protection and production' approach builds on scientific research of archipelago, which holds globally significant coral reefs and marine habitats frequented by turtles, manta rays, and whales.

Despite looming climate threats, Lau stands as a beacon of hope, demonstrating a commitment to balancing the needs of people and nature for long-term prosperity.
