Develop an action plan and identify and generate the datasets required for a ridge-to-reef planning process for the Solomon Islands' Ghizo and Kolombangara islands, as a basis for balanced decision-making regarding the use of natural resources. Build support for the process among local communities and civil society groups. Strengthen capacity of Western Province government staff to undertake ridge-to-reef planning on other islands.

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