WWF has been working on conservation issues in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and the Solomon Islands for many years. In 2008 WWF's Pacific Office based in Fiji was divided in order to provide more effective coverage in this vast yet biologically important region. The newly formed "Western Melanesia Programme Office" based in Papua New Guinea also encompasses the Solomon Islands.
