This project proposes to implement priority actions for the conservation of rare and threatened forest species and the ecological restoration of their ecosystems. In particular, this project focuses on the Isle of Pines (Kwényï), an island located in the south of New Caledonia, often recognized for its natural beauty and exceptional biodiversity, but where forests are declining due to fires, deforestation, and invasive species. In collaboration with customary authorities and local populations, this project aims to implement a series of coordinated, emblematic actions focused on the collection and propagation of rare and threatened species, as well as ecological restoration. It is planned to plant 2,000 seedlings of 12 specific species.

Duration: 24 months
