Abstract
The Kilaka Forest Conservation Area (the ‘Conservation Area’ or KFCA) is located near to the village of Kilaka (Yavusa Kilaka), on the south eastern coast of Vanua Levu in Kubulau District, Bua Province. The Conservation Area is located on land belonging to mataqali Nadicake in the upper catchment of the Kilaka River. The land owning unit (LOU), mataqali Nadicake, has been protecting Kilaka Forest since 2006 through an informal agreement not to log the forests. In 2009, the boundaries and management rules for Conservation Area were incorporated into the ecosystem-based management (EBM) plan for the entire Kubulau District, which was later revised and updated in 2012. The EBM plan was developed through a bottom-up, highly consultative process to ensure village, district and provincial-level engagement and ownership of the plan and the management rules for all ecosystems for the 10 villages of Kubulau, including Kilaka.
