Our work in the region
WWF South Pacific works directly in the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea parts of the Bismarck Solomon Seas Ecoregion (BSSE) and in collaboration with WWF-Indonesia in Papua to deliver the BSSE Vision:- A region where care for the environment is based on a balance of traditional practices and management that utilises appropriate scientific knowledge.
- A marine enviroment that will serve as the bank of the people - where a healthy and happy population can sustain its needs and fulfill aspirations.
- A region where coral reefs, mangroves and sea grass beds, dugongs, whales and the richness of the seas are present for the world to see.
- A region linked by the migratory paths of turtles and fish which bind together countries in partnerships and committments that will shape the future of conservation across the ecoregion.
- A region where local people and scientists have the understanding and capacity needed to conserve the natural wealth of the marine environment well beyond the next 50 years.
- A marine environment that will live in the dreams, stories, languages and songs of people for many generations to come.
