Protecting Nature. Empowering Communities. Securing the Future.

We are a community-driven conservation association working to restore ecosystems, protect marine and coastal environments, and create sustainable livelihoods through nature-based solutions.

Who We Are

We are a community-based conservation association committed to protecting and restoring land and marine ecosystems on Malemale Island. Our work is rooted in nature-based solutions that address the growing threats of climate change, environmental degradation, and unsustainable human activities.

We actively engage in reforestation of kerosene wood trees (Cordia subcordata) to restore biodiversity, prevent coastal erosion, improve soil health, and support sustainable fuel and timber resources. These efforts contribute directly to ecosystem restoration while creating long-term environmental value for the island.

Our Mission

To educate and inspire communities—especially young generations—to value nature as a treasure and become responsible stewards of their environment through active conservation, restoration, and sustainable livelihood development.

Our Vision

A future where communities—men, women, youth, and children—benefit from the preservation and sustainable use of natural resources while protecting ecosystems and biodiversity for generations to come.

Our Strategic Goals (2024–2028)

Our conservation strategy focuses on restoring ecosystems, protecting marine life, empowering communities, and creating sustainable livelihoods through nature-based solutions and education. These five goals guide our actions and long-term impact.

Goal 1 – Ecosystem Restoration

Plant over 200 kerosene wood trees to restore biodiversity, prevent erosion, and rebuild the island’s natural ecosystem for future generations.

Goal 2 – Marine Protection

Establish Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and coral restoration programs to protect marine life, strengthen fisheries, and improve coastal resilience.

Goal 3 – Climate Resilience

Construct nature-based seawalls and coastal protection solutions to safeguard communities, infrastructure, and ecosystems from climate change impacts.

Goal 4 – Environmental Education

Engage children and youth in hands-on conservation learning to inspire environmental responsibility and develop future nature leaders.

Goal 5 – Sustainable Livelihoods & Training

Provide solar fishing projects, blue economy training, and regenerative tourism programs to create jobs and support community development.

Goal 6 – Blue Economy & Regenerative Tourism Training

Conduct at least two trainings on Blue Economy and Regenerative Tourism Catalyst for youths and younger generations.

Our Key Focus Areas

Ecosystem Restoration

We restore coastal ecosystems by planting native kerosene wood trees to rebuild biodiversity, prevent erosion, and support sustainable energy sources and livelihoods.

Marine Conservation

We establish Marine Protected Areas and coral restoration programs to protect marine life, improve fish populations, and strengthen coastal resilience.

Climate Adaptation

Through nature-based solutions such as seawalls and ecosystem protection, we help communities adapt to climate change and reduce environmental risks.

Community Livelihoods

We create economic opportunities through sustainable fisheries, tourism training, solar energy projects, and conservation-based enterprises.

Education & Youth Engagement

We transform conservation learning into hands-on experiences for children and youth, building a new generation of environmental stewards.

Together, we can restore nature and build a sustainable future.

Join us in protecting ecosystems, empowering communities, and creating lasting change.
