Edgar coordinates the work of Mai-Ma’asina Greenbelt, a coalition of conservation communities in Malaita, Solomon Islands.

Their mission is to create a network of communities and collaborate with local government and international organizations to address conservation and climate change issues. MMGB advocates for intact forest management, wildlife protection, and cultural preservation to promote social and green economic development.

Edgar is currently leading efforts with a tribal association in Malaita to establish a carbon project. This requires a technical understanding of carbon market requirements, as well as the ability to translate this complexity for members of the tribal association and manage expectations given the time to establish a carbon project can be a number of years.
