What does real, tangible impact look like?
We’re a small but mighty team working to transform ecosystems that are on the brink of collapse. We know the power of our approach and have witnessed islands rebound as a result. With every project we take on, we track recovery from start to finish and then some. But our impact goes beyond numbers; it’s about lasting change for nature and people worldwide.
The impacts of island restoration extend far beyond the coastlines of our project sites. We see enhanced community wellbeing, improved ocean health, thriving island biodiversity, increased resiliency to climate change, and millions of carbon sequestered from the atmosphere.

New research shows the vital link between island restoration, healthy seabird populations, and resilient, thriving coral reefs!
In recent years, we launched our Drone Program which has already resulted in new levels of efficiency and scalability for our projects.
We utilized the power of drones to increase our number of projects by 67%, are employing them in species monitoring, and are now working to see how we can pair them with cutting-edge imaging to classify animals more efficiently.
