Power and control over our resources in Melanesia and the Pacific.

 

ABOUT MILDA

Established in 2009, the Melanesian Indigenous Land Defence Alliance (MILDA) is a regional civil society network that supports and coordinates community efforts to maintain control over our land, ocean and resources.

Recognizing threats to customary land systems, our intention is to unite, organize and defend guardianship of Melanesian communities over our land, ocean, water, air and natural resources. We assert that the customary systems are the basis of life and community in Melanesia.

We aim to lead, coordinate and support the effective functioning of the MILDA network by mobilizing to effectively address issues of concerns in Melanesia.
