Nakau works with Indigenous People and customary landowners across the Pacific Islands to develop community-owned carbon projects that support nature, people, culture and climate resilience.

Protecting and restoring ecosystems begins with people

This is why Nakau puts Indigenous People and the rights of customary landowners and communities first. Our commitment to working this way allows communities to establish projects with integrity that deliver real benefits for people and nature.

  • WE ARE GUIDED BY LOCAL KNOWLEDGE-HOLDERS AND RELATIONSHIPS

  • INDIGENOUS PEOPLE KEEP THEIR CARBON AND LAND RIGHTS

  • CONSERVATION CARBON PROJECTS ARE A NATURE-BASED SOLUTION
