Finalist, Envirnonment Award 2015

Since 2000, Rivers Fiji has collaborated with indigenous landowners and the logging company that owns the land to create the Upper Navua Conservation Area (UNCA), a 16km long river corridor that hopefully will save the forest. In so doing they have created the first and only lease for conservation of its kind in Fiji, and most likely the entire South Pacific. It may well also be the only conservation area in the world funded entirely by white-water rafting trips.
