EcoNorfolk Foundation was a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting ecologically sustainable development on Norfolk Island.
Founded by environmental activist Denise Quintal, the Foundation aimed to assist in advancing the science of sustainability with the wider international community to lead the way for sustainability in the South Pacific. Its role was to support the preservation of natural resources through education, publicity campaigns, scientific research and development, and merging this with the everyday activities and practices of the Norfolk Island people.
EcoNorfolk Foundation was involved in projects such as Footprinting and Experimental Prototype Communities, to foster awareness of the global context of local environmental issues. For example, the ‘Sustainable Islands Project’ focused on the training of skilled professionals from small remote islands, in the area of sustainable environmental and economic development.
EcoNorfolk at the date of writing (May 2024) is in recess.
