This unique fusion enhances decision-making and resource management, ensuring that our strategies are not only comprehensive but also deeply rooted in the local context.

We believe in fostering resilience and flexibility. Our vision is to empower communities of the Western Province to thrive amidst the evolving environmental landscape.

Our Mission

Empowering coastal communities in the Western Province, Solomon Islands, through adaptive and innovative solutions that blend traditional wisdom with scientific expertise for resilient socio-ecological systems.

Our Vision

To forge a sustainable future ensuring that communities in the Western Province thrive amidst climate change, tourism, and globalisation challenges.

Ethical Innovation

While innovation itself is neither inherently ethical nor unethical, its ethical dimensions are determined by how it is used, its consequences, and its alignment with ethical principles and values. Ethical considerations should be an integral part of the innovation process to ensure that new developments contribute positively to communities in which they find expression.

Our team

Our strength lies in our individuality.

Our work is supported by strong cross cultural ties and relationships that have been developed over decades.
