Study the life cycles as well as the status and trends of the populations of two of Fiji's largest and rarest butterflies in order to prepare management plans for both species. At the same time raise awareness of the land owners around these strongholds and use the findings to effect policy changes and contribute to the Red List assessment of both threatened species.

Strategic Direction: 3 Build awareness and participation of local leaders and community members in the implementation of protection and recovery plans for threatened species
