What does financial resilience have to do with conservation?

In Madang, 🇵🇬, community members are using financial literacy skills to save for their goals, strengthen livelihoods, support their families and plan for the future.

An assessment conducted by WWF-Pacific found that many participants had adopted regular savings habits, improved budgeting practices, and gained greater confidence in managing household finances. This has meant growing small businesses. For others, it’s about building a home, preparing for emergencies, or creating new opportunities for their families.

The story highlights that when communities have more choices, greater financial confidence, and stronger livelihoods, they are better positioned to support both their wellbeing and the natural resources they depend on.

🌱 Over 8000 mangroves planted in the District of Nacula

The villages of Naisisili and Navotua in Nacula District, Yasawa, recently came together in a major mangrove restoration initiative, planting more than 8,000 Rhizophora mangroves, commonly known as Tiri in iTaukei.

Mangroves are a vital natural resource, helping protect coastlines from erosion, providing habitats for marine life, and strengthening community resilience against the impacts of climate change.

🗣️Speaking on the importance of mangrove restoration, Mavileko Ratulevu, Turaga ni Koro of Naisisili Village, said:
"Planting mangroves is very helpful. Here in Naisisili, there are two areas where mangroves are currently found, Tukusaga and Ma**da. In my opinion, planting mangroves helps reduce coastal erosion in our community."

Meanwhile, Kinisimere Mele, who oversees the mangrove nursery at Navotua Village, reflected on the success of the initiative:
"The first time mangrove restoration took place here in Navotua, it was successful. This is the second time we have participated, and we are grateful for this initiative and the opportunity to continue protecting our environment for future generations."

🫱🏽‍🫲🏾The restoration effort was supported by Hilton Global Foundation, whose partnership contributed to the successful planting of more than 8,000 mangroves across the two communities.
By working together to restore mangrove ecosystems, the people of Naisisili and Navotua are helping to safeguard their coastlines, support biodiversity, and build a more sustainable future for Yasawa and Fiji.

💚🌱 Vinaka vakalevu to all community members, partners, and volunteers who contributed to this initiative.

📱🎬 From smartphone filmmaking to biodiversity monitoring, young people in Pomio are helping shape the conservation conversation.

Through the People Powering Biodiversity (PPB) project, youth are documenting Indigenous knowledge, sharing community stories, supporting biodiversity surveys and contributing to decisions about the future of their lands and natural resources. They are also learning to use free, offline-friendly digital tools that reflect the realities of life in remote parts of Papua New Guinea, ensuring that limited connectivity does not become a barrier.

Learning how to film and edit videos gives young people a platform to raise issues they see affecting their communities and ensuring their voices are ready to be heard when opportunities arise to influence decisions.

Young people are not waiting to inherit conservation. They are helping lead it today.
