flag Fijian villagers transformed degraded reefs into a thriving marine park, expanding protection 24-fold through community-led conservation.

flag In Naidiri, Fiji, a community-led marine conservation effort has transformed degraded reefs into a thriving biodiversity park, expanding protection nearly 24 times its original size. flag Inspired by declining fish stocks, villagers established a tabu area, restored coral, and engaged youth and women in monitoring, planting, and tourism. flag Supported by the UNDP’s Ridge to Reef Project and the Global Environment Facility, the initiative combines traditional knowledge with science, boosting livelihoods, sustainable tourism, and climate resilience. flag The park now serves as a regional model for community-driven conservation, demonstrating how local action can advance national and global environmental goals.
