The Kokomo Manta Conservation project was announced in 2019 and aims to help raise awareness and protect manta rays as best as possible in the waters surrounding the Fijian Island.
The project is carried out with Marine Biologist Luke Gordon, the leader of the 'Manta Project Fiji', which is an affiliate to the larger mother organization 'Manta Trust' (www.mantatrust.org).

DOCUMENTARIES
In late 2020, Tom spent a few days with the NatureFiji-MareqetiViti Team on Taveuni here in Fiji to document their search for the Kulawai. The bird is endemic to Fiji and hasn't been seen for almost thirty years!
If the Kulawai cannot be found by the team in the next few years, it will have to be declared extinct. But by utilising a combination of outreach in social media, public awareness in communities and beyond, and actual observatory fieldwork on the ground, the NatureFiji staff together with volunteers are determined to find this beautiful little parrot!
You can help them by becoming a member of Fiji's first local NGO (NatureFiji-MareqetiViti) and assissting them in raising funds for future expeditions. You can also spread the word to friends and family, visit their page and share this video.
Vinaka!
