Government through the Ministry of Forestry and Research (SIG) and Wildlife Works Carbon (WWC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Tuesday to protect forests, reduce carbon emissions, and strengthen community livelihoods across the Solomon Islands. The signing was conducted at the Solomon Kitano Mendana Hotel in Honiara between Richard Roamae, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Forestry and Research and Brian William, WWC Regional Vice President for Asia-Pacific.
The initiative began with six provinces โ Guadalcanal, Malaita, Western Province, Isabel, Choiseul, and Makira-Ulawa โ and is expected to expand as consultations continue. This MoU marks an important step in strengthening collaboration between the SIG and WWC to promote sustainable forest management, and supporting carbon and climate mitigation initiatives in the Solomon Islands.
