Na Vanua Conservation Hub: Launched in collaboration with the award-winning Ahura Resorts Conservation Foundation – a registered charitable trust, the Na Vanua Conservation Hub offers guests a unique, hands-on opportunity to engage with and support local ecosystems and Fijian culture. Featuring an immersive and interactive space with displays of field projects and opportunities for guests to engage with the Foundation Team, it focuses on conservation efforts like: reforestation, mangrove restoration, the critically-endangered Fiji Crested Iguana conservation program, coral planting, herb garden tours, back-of-house waste and recycle tours, community engagement with the Foundation’s key support project - the local village kindergarten, capacity and legacy building with the island’s indigenous resource owners and more.
"Na Vanua," meaning "the land" in Fijian, reflects the deep connection between the land, people, and nature, and celebrates the resort’s partnership with its traditional landowners to preserve the local ecosystem.
The hub embodies the Foundation’s three key pillars: Above the Sea, Below the Sea, and Community, highlighting the importance of sustainability and cultural preservation. The waters surrounding Malolo Island are in a protection zone as mandated by the Paramount Chief of Malolo Island and this also includes the private island of Mociu (Honeymoon Island) - which is designated for the exclusive use of resort guests, and is under the umbrella programs of biodiversity conservation.
