Vanuatu Environmental Science Society

VESS’s vision is to protect Vanuatu’s natural world and resources by using science to inform conservation, environmental protection and sustainable development. We hope to achieve this by reaching out to Ni-Vanuatu and visitors to interact with Vanuatu’s flora and fauna responsibly. We believe using science allows communities, the government and other stakeholders to make informed choices so we can all live harmoniously with our natural environment.
VESS has been conducting community litter cleanups since 2015 and campaigning for a cleaner Vanuatu for the people and the wildlife. VESS is the Vanuatu coordinator for the ICC. Data from our cleanups has been used to inform national policies such as the single-use-plastic bans.
