Promote biodiversity through community awareness campaigns and workshops, and by carrying out baseline surveys on the globally threatened species that exist within the Santo community of Vanuatu. The work will culminate through culturally expressive art, song and dance at an annual festival known as the Lukaotem Gud Santo Festival (LGSF), the second largest music and cultural festival in Vanuatu, and a creative hub for cultural promotion and development. The project will engage a wide range of stakeholders including local communities, and local and provincial government departments.

Strategic Direction: 1 Empower local communities to protect and manage globally significant biodiversity at priority Key Biodiversity Areas under-served by current conservation efforts
