One of the human rights issues for Vanuanui is the lack of accessible, clean drinking, cooking and bathing water. Vanuanuians believe that one of the causes are the logging operations that began several years earlier in hills behind the community. Short-term outcome: Discussions with the logging company have resulted in an understanding by the company of how they are impacting on the community’s drinking water and a commitment to work with the community to find a solution. (Within 6 months) Medium-term outcome: The company has changed it practices and logging waste is no longer being tipped into the waterways that feed the community of Vanuanui. (Within 18 months) Long-term outcome: i) The streams that feed Vanuanui are at safe enough levels for drinking, cooking and bathing, and ii) A policy agreement has been developed with the company in relation to environmentally sustainable logging.
