Young leaders from across the Pacific will come together with Indigenous knowledge holders, conservation practitioners, policymakers, and regional partners for the Pacific Biodiversity Youth Dialogue, a landmark youth engagement initiative to be held as part of the 11th Pacific Islands Conference on Nature Conservation.

Hear from traditional knowledge holders about their role in protecting sacred forests and maintaining biodiversity for future generations.

Kouaoua Valley is facing a serious ecological challenge, the overpopulation of invasive deer that has caused significant damage to native vegetation, degrading customary lands, and vital water resources. And a community-led initiative is showing how local leadership and traditional authority can drive environmental action.
