Setup an umbrella network for women environmentalists and conservationists across priority sites in Vanuatu. This is a move to promote gender equity for conservation initiatives in a mainly male dominated field. Through this network, Island Reach and its partners hope to encourage more women to participate in activities that help to address environment issues and achieve conservation outcomes.
