As such, its focus lies on biodiversity conservation and ecological restoration, including efforts to strengthen the sustained provision of eco-system services, strengthen blue and green economies as pathways to sustainable development, including agroforestry, aquaculture, and the promotion of ecotourism. SOLUSI promotes enhanced climate-resilient livelihoods through public-private-people partnership (P4), policies and investments and facilitates learning among partner provinces and scaling-up to others using an inter-provincial knowledge sharing platform.
