Establish a solid foundation for long-term, community-owned conservation initiatives for Mount Maetambe to Kolobangara River Key Biodiversity Area on the Solomon Islands’ Choiseul Island by mapping customary ownership of land by local tribes, supporting customary land owners to develop a comprehensive land-use plan that enshrines the cultural and biological values of the area, and assisting customary landowners to form and register tribal associations responsible for natural resource governance.

Strategic Direction: 2 Integrate biodiversity conservation into local land-use and development planning
