Community leaders and people from west Santo have united in a protest to protect their forests against a logging and road construction proposal by the Vanuatu Forest Industry Limited, a Chinese-funded company. They expressed strong disagreement to the proposal through a campaign led by the Santo Sunset Environment Network (SSEN), an indigenous environment Non-Government Organisation (NGO) set up to protect West Coast Santo Mountain Chain, home to Vanuatu’s largest biodiversity hotspot.
