Welcome to Solomon Islands

The Solomon Islands Archipelago, along with the entire Bismarck and Solomon Seas, are amongst the highest global marine priorities of conservation organisations. The rich and diverse waters also are critically important for coastal villagers, who rely on harvests of marine resources to meet their basic needs.

Community in harmony with the environment
Solomon Islands people have developed extensive knowledge of their land, sea and wildlife resources. WWF believes that sustainable livelihood, development and conservation efforts work best where community groups adopt conservation initiatives themselves, and where communities make their own management decisions.

WWF focus on preserving marine environment
WWF SI focuses the majority of its work on preserving the marine environment so that it is able to continue to provide resources for subsistence and economic development.

Capacity building at community and inter-community level
Through its capacity building strategy, WWF aims to build the skills of individual conservation practitioners at the community level as well as establishing a network of community-based organisations dedicated to learning collaboratively and achieving best practices in conservation action.

Expansion to national level on the horizon
WWF plans to broaden its activities in Solomon Islands over the next 5 years to become a national programme. A 5 year strategic plan is being developed for the WWF Solomon Islands Country Programme which will see the current focus on marine protection expanded.
