Double the Impact, Double the Hope

DOUBLE YOUR DONATION

We’re in a race against time, and your help is needed. Make twice the impact today with our matching fund.

When you support Island Conservation, you’re not just helping to restore an island—you’re helping protect the entire planet. With our dollar-for-dollar match and unparalleled impact, there’s no better way to double your money and secure hope for the future.

As we celebrate Earth Month, we want to zoom in on one of the most unique and vulnerable places on Earth—the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

The Republic of the Marshall Islands is home to some of the most remote and fragile coral atolls in the world—ecosystems that are crucial to local communities and vital for global biodiversity. However, these ecosystems are under immediate threat. We’ve witnessed how these once-barren islands have transformed into thriving habitats for both nature and people.

But the clock is ticking, and the time to act is now.

Your support today will have double the impact, with every donation being matched dollar-for-dollar to restore vital ecosystems. Even better, all new monthly donations will be matched for the remainder of the year.

Together, we can protect places like the Marshall Islands for generations to come, turning them into beacons of hope for a healthier planet.

Donate now before the clock runs out and be part of this critical work.

What are we working to protect?

The benefits of island restoration extend far beyond the coastline, creating a cascading impact of positive changes that will be felt for generations to come.

Vital nutrient cycles

Reviving healthy ecosystems helps restore nutrient cycles, enriching the soil, improving coral reef health, and providing a more resilient environment for both wildlife and people.

Climate resilience

Restoring these fragile ecosystems helps buffer the islands against the impacts of climate change, such as rising sea levels and extreme weather events.

Food security

Restoration of islands like Jemo ensures local communities can continue to harvest food such as pandanus, copra, and fish, vital to their sustenance.

Endangered species

Jemo is also listed as one of the three major breeding sites for Green Sea Turtles, an endangered species whose population is currently in rapid decline. Restoring this island is key to protecting the breeding sites of Green Sea Turtles, ensuring more hatchlings survive.

Biodiversity

Teeming with seabirds, such as Black Noddies, Masked Boobies, and White Terns, Bikar also offers refuge for migratory birds. The IUCN-listed threatened Bristle-Thighed Curlew (pictured here), which breeds in Alaska, flies down to the North Pacific during winter, along with the Pacific Golden Plover.

Coral reef ecosystems

Bikar Atoll fosters unique, delicate corals with abundant fish populations. The pass where its lagoon empties into the sea allows pelagic fish such as sharks and tuna to hunt and mix with shallow-water reef fish such as the Two-spot Red Snapper, Humpback Red Snapper, Leopard Grouper, and Humphead Parrot fish.

The health of the planet

By protecting the ecosystems of the Marshall Islands, we’re enhancing global biodiversity, boosting resilience, and removing carbon from the atmosphere—efforts that benefit the entire planet.

Our Work

On the ground, our teams are working tirelessly to remove invasive species and accelerate the recovery of native plants and animals. This fieldwork is critical for rebuilding the habitats for endangered and threatened species, as well as ensuring the health of these atolls for future generations.
