Protecting and restoring forests is inseparable from the need to support the people who depend on them.
This is why Nakau supports ethical and sustainable forest carbon projects that are led by Indigenous landowners. Behind our approach is a vision for a sustainable future of healthy forests that support — and are supported by — strong communities.

our approach
To do this work we developed the Nakau Methodology — a purpose-built Pacific rainforest conservation finance program. This approach allows remote communities to protect their forest through conservation projects that have environmental, social, cultural and climate resilience benefits at the core.

- We support communities with Ranger training and forest management, and we help set up women-led business groups and official Protected Areas.
- We link communities with credit buyers around the world and help remove the barrier to international markets faced by people living in remote places.
- We work closely with women and men to ensure traditional knowledge is embedded in each project.
