Vanuatu: Together We Protect Kastom

Together We is a partnership between the US State Department and the East-West Center to gather stories and data on recent and ongoing human capital development collaborations. The project focused on joint efforts in education, public health, and economic innovation by the US and eight Southeast Asian and Pacific nations: Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, and Vanuatu.
Learn how scientists from the USA’s New York Botanical Gardens have collaborated with the people of Vanuatu on The Plants and People of Vanuatu project to help preserve biocultural knowledge by supporting communities to keep their knowledge in practice and work to discover, document, and conserve the plant diversity and plant-based traditional knowledge of Vanuatu.

A deep reciprocal relationship with nature is essential.for our presence on earth and for the future, if we are to live a balanced life.
