Natural Resources Development Foundation
Forest for life
We believe healthy natural resources are fundamental to the wellbeing of local people and their environment.
Natural Resources Development Foundation provides sustainable resource management opportunities to communities in Solomon Islands so they can protect their rainforests for current and future generations.
About us
Natural Resources Development Foundation (NRDF) was established in 2004 to address unsustainable forest management and the exploitation of forest ecosystems by commercial logging and land-clearing.
Our vision is to promote sustainable practices that safeguard forests, rivers and marine ecosystems — all natural resources which are vital for the livelihoods, health and wellbeing of local communities.
From small beginnings, NRDF has grown to be well regarded as a significant leader in forest management and conservation activities by local communities, national and international NGOs, and the Solomon Islands Government.
We have expanded our scope in recent years to work at the intersection of forest conservation and climate change mitigation. We are a licensed coordinator for the Pacific-based Nakau Programme Methodology. This enables us to co-develop forest carbon projects that legally protect forests and provide tribal landowners with income to support ranger and forest management activities.
