The Nouméa Dry Forest Restoration Project aims to transform the city’s unused natural spaces into a rich botanical heritage, enhancing biodiversity while engaging the community in a participatory approach. The dry forests of New Caledonia are among the richest in native species and have the highest rates of endemism among the Pacific islands. In collaboration with the City of Nouméa, the project seeks to convert these underutilised areas into true ecological gems—urban refuges for the territory’s endemic forest. This project aims to plant 6,000 dry forest seedlings over two years, with 3,000 planted annually on these fallow plots located on land owned by the City of Nouméa. Awareness-raising actions will also be carried out, engaging local communities in the preservation of forests.
