Coastal lands and waters across the Pacific are under intense pressures. Project Halo is working alongside local communities to build a new future through nature-based solutions.
Find out moreMangroves are a type of halophyte — a salt-loving plant that grows in or near tidal waters. As tropical and subtropical ecosystems, mangrove forests create a green ring (a halo!) that encircles the earth, delivering benefits for people and the planet.

Globally, coastal communities are impacted by biodiversity loss and climate change. These joint challenges are profoundly impacting the Oceania region. How can national and international goals to address societal, environmental, and carbon reduction needs be achieved hand-in-hand with community empowerment?
Find out moreWe believe that nature-based solutions, such as mangroves, have the capacity to provide coastal protection services while also increasing biodiversity and supporting communities. To achieve this we are implementing large-scale mangrove restoration projects while also integrating mangroves into maritime infrastructure.
Find out moreBy combining biophysical, social, and policy research with on-ground engineering, Project Halo will showcase the world's best approaches for nature-based solutions. Our evidence-based approach ensures that the outcomes of Project Halo are transparent, scaleable, and encourage collaboration.
