Teach grantee members the ranger and protected area/community management techniques that are being carried out in other parts of Solomon Islands. This will be achieved through a look and learn exchange trip whereby members will travel to Choiseul and Western Province to witness management of sites that have already successfully gone through the protected area process. At the same time, the trip will be documented through a series of interviews and videos so that lessons and activities can be shared with others in Solomon Islands, as well as with the rest of the hotspot.
