Drawa Rainforest – Fiji
On this page:
About the project
The Drawa Rainforest project helps the Fijian clans to protect their rainforests, providing greater resilience against climate change, alongside supporting community businesses including honey enterprises.
By providing carbon income, the project enables indigenous peoples in Fiji to forgo commercial logging and save their forests.
The conserved forest protects villages from cyclones, floods and droughts, and provides clean water for the Drawa people and other communities that rely on streams flowing from the rainforests.
The forest, it provides for the village in terms of food — prawns, eels, fish, seeds, fruit — and also clean water for drinking.
