Vavau Environmental Protection Association (VEPA)
Vava'u Environmental Protection Association (VEPA) is dedicated to the conservation of Vava'u's natural beauty through educational awareness, sustainable development, and collaboration with the local community.
- Engaging community ownership in sustainable conservation practices.
- Increasing awareness and knowledge on global and local conservation aspects.
The Vava’u Environmental Protection Association was started in May 2009 by a group of local leaders concerned with the pressing environmental conservation issues facing the islands of Vava’u. The group is aimed at ensuring biodiversity and conservation, increasing knowledge exchange, and securing sustainable livelihoods.
Biodiversity and Conservation
VEPA works on conservation projects in a range of environmental habitats including coral reefs, mangroves, and forest areas. They work to protect and restore these natural resources for the benefit of Vava’u and the world around us. In doing so they hope to ensure that Vava’u maintains its unique biological diversity.
Knowledge Exchange
VEPA strives to increase awareness on current environmental issues and connect environmental advocates. Everyone has a stake in the health and beauty of Vava’u, and VEPA is a resource for different communities to unite and work towards this mutual goal. They support individuals with backgrounds ranging from health, to tourism, and village development.
Sustainable Livelihoods
VEPA seeks to protect Vava’u’s environment so that resources will be available for future generations. Perhaps more than in an industrialized nation, maintaining a healthy environment is truly essential for life on these islands. Their work helps fishermen, farmers, and women's groups provide for their families in a way that will be sustainable for years to come.
