About Nakau

Nakau grows ethical and sustainable ecosystem carbon projects that are led by Indigenous landowners and communities across the Pacific Islands.

Behind our work is a vision for healthy nature and strong communities. We believe protecting and restoring forests and other ecosystems is inseparable from the need to support the people who depend on them.

  • PEOPLE

    We ensure Indigenous communities retain rights and power over their land, and maximise benefits for everyone.

  • ENVIRONMENT

    We help people protect and restore their ecosystems and build nature-based resilience to climate change.

  • INTEGRITY

    We support equitable conservation carbon projects that deliver measurable and effective core benefits.
