Tetepare Island
Tetepare - the conservation jewel of Solomon Islands.
Uninhabited. Unlogged. Untamed.
Tetepare.org
On our last expedition to Solomon Islands we were absolutely thrilled to get back to Tetepare again with @divemunda and Tina & Ellice, our Sea Women of Melanesia trainees and traditional owners of the island. We last surveyed these reefs 9 years ago and were very happy to see the reef and rainforest in fantastic condition, bursting with life.
The Coral Sea Foundation will be supporting Tina, Ellice and the Tetepare rangers with the coral reef monitoring on the island, and we encourage anyone venturing to Solomon islands to visit the Tetepare eco-lodge and take the time to see this truly pristine wilderness.
Thanks @divemunda for getting us there and back in style!

Organic Ngalinuts of Baniata
In Baniata community, Rendova Island in the Western Province of Solomon Islands Ngali Nuts or Canarium Indicum are a lifeline. School fees, medicine, community development is all met largely through selling ngalinuts at the markets in Munda and Honiara.
Organic certification of the nut has opened new markets – in Fiji, Australia and New Caledonia.
The documentary captures the value chain map of the ngalinut, as it makes its journey from Baniata, to the world and tells the story of the women who harvest it. It is a tale of struggle and triumph, the ancient ways and new markets, fears and hope of fresh beginnings with the organic certification of the ngalinut.
This documentary has been made possible with the support of the European Union Increasing Agriculture Commodities and Trade Project and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
The Pacific Organic and Ethical Trade Community (POETCom) of the Land Resources Division of the Pacific Community works with communities across the 22 countries and territories of the Pacific Community enabling organic certification with training for farmers and producers alike thus creating increased potential for market access.
Organic Certification is used as a tool for community development through the creation of income, reduction of poverty and helping meet other Sustainable Development Goals with the support as well of the Sustainable Development Goal Fund and the UNDP Pacific Office in Fiji and CTA-Technical Centre for Rural and Agricultural Cooperation.

Solomon Islands: A Breathtaking Adventure
In November 2018, I spent 4 weeks in Gizo, Solomon Islands on a medical elective at the amazing Gizo Hospital.
I had the most amazing time both in and outside of the hospital. This video shares some of the highlights of my trip, as my friends and I travel to different beautiful islands during our spare time.
We spent most of our time snorkelling and enjoying the breathtaking views of the pristine waters surrounding the islands.
List of islands/resorts we visited in order: Fatboys resort, Sanbis resort, and everyone's favourite, Imagination Island where we spent two incredible nights staying on an over-water cottage. We spent the days snorkelling amongst beautiful sea creatures (and sharks!), and we were lucky enough to stargaze during a prominent meteor shower. The clear sky allowed for the stars to shine at its brightest that night on Imagination Island.
I had the experience of a lifetime there both as a medical student and traveller.
If anyone wants more info regarding travelling to Gizo or the Solomons, or a medical student thinking of doing an elective over there (trust me the medical experience was awesome, you get to see and do so much! Unfortunately due to confidentiality I did not film in the hospital), give me a shout and I'll be more than happy to share more of my experience/advice!
My time there couldn't have been anywhere near as incredible as it was without the people there. My friends, the lovely doctors, and of course the amazing local people of the Solomon Islands! Thank you everyone so much for the experience of a lifetime!
PS. I apologise for the shaky, low quality video and rough edit, I have zero experience in editing videos and prior to this trip I bought the cheapest action camera last minute! I have since upgraded to a GoPro though!
