Conservation

One of Niue’s longest-standing conservation organisations

Founded in 2004 by Fiafia Rex, Oma Tafuā began as a volunteer initiative dedicated to protecting Niue’s humpback whales. Since then, it has grown into a nationally and regionally recognised organisation leading community-based conservation, marine mammal research, Indigenous knowledge revitalisation, environmental education, climate resilience, women’s leadership and nature-based solutions.

Today, Oma Tafuā works alongside communities, government, regional organisations, researchers, youth, elders, women, villages and international partners to help protect the Pacific’s natural and cultural heritage for future generations.
