This project is being implemented in communities across Central Province to undertake coral reef conservation activities and introduce village chicken keeping and vegetable gardens as an alternative protein source. A major obstacle for the sustainability of conservation projects is compliance among coastal communities, especially if it means short-term reductions in fish catch. The project will address this problem by introducing village chickens as an alternative protein source for fish, which will run in parallel with community-led coastal conservation and livelihood initiatives. We train Master Farmers  in poultry husbandry, coral gardening, participatory community decision making and permaculture, in order to lead these activities in PNG.
