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.
