Boe Boe community, Solomon Islands, experienced a ten-days ‘Participatory 3D modelling (P3DM) for climate change’.

They used mapping and communication tools in the context of climate change adaptation.

"The team, led by Kenn Mondiai of Partners With Melanesians, and the Solomon Islands’ TNC staff and local partners, were able to hand over a vibrant, illustrated, ‘living’ and accurately-scaled model of the community customary lands and waters, at a ceremony involving Boe Boe village and neighboring communities."

Students and volunteers contributed as teams during 3 days to build the modelling. Then community members added the detail: their own houses, gardens, route, mangroves, forest paths, conservation areas, and anything else they reckoned important to note.
