Our Projects

What does holistic island restoration look like?

Our projects focus on working closely with local communities and global partners to remove introduced, damaging invasive species and accelerate the recovery of native plants and animals. By addressing these key environmental challenges, we improve coral reef health, enhance climate resilience, and bolster food security for island communities.

Each project is carefully scoped, planned, executed, and monitored to ensure long-term success and measurable impact.

Island Ocean Connection Challenge

Everything is connected.

The Island-Ocean Connection Challenge is a catalytic global initiative co-founded by Island Conservation, Re:wild, and UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography that brings together diverse partners to benefit islands and oceans. Now, with a collective of over fifty partners from across the globe, we are on our way to accomplishing our shared goal.

The IOCC Goal

40 Islands by 2030.

Alongside our partners, we are restoring at least 40 globally significant island-ocean ecosystems from ridge to reef by 2030 to benefit people, wildlife, and our planet.

Find out how close we are to our goal and how to get involved by visiting the Island-Ocean Connection Challenge.
