Welcome to the website of NatureFiji-MareqetiViti.
NatureFiji-MareqetiViti is Fiji’s only domestic NGO working solely for the conservation and sustainable management of Fiji’s unique natural heritage.
We aim to generate enthusiasm and local expertise in all matters associated with wildlife conservation and management through raising the level of conservation and environmental awareness and education.
Our children are particularly important as for too long, they have had minimal opportunity to learn of the remarkable natural heritage of our islands and seas.
We recognize too, the key role to be played by Fiji’s indigenous landowners and NatureFiji-MareqetiViti intends to promote much better understanding and awareness of Fiji’s wildlife.
We hope to grow an active membership that will assist in conservation projects, wildlife management and island restoration projects.

It is unfortunate but true, for most students here in Fiji it is easier to obtain information on Australian or New Zealand’s endangered wildlife than Fiji’s own. NatureFiji-MareqetiViti’s first project aims to rectify this, and we here present “Endangered Species of Fiji”
