Solomon Islands Ranger Association and Bulkshop have entered into a new partnership that aims to raise awareness on Solomon Islands native species.

This follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Thursday, July 31, 2025 between the association’s program manager, Edward Haikau Huitarau and Bulkshop’s Managing Director, Adam Bartlett.

The agreement marks a significant step towards conservation efforts and public education, particularly among children.

Huitarau described the signing as an “achievement for the association.”

As part of the agreement, the association will supply Bulkshop with images of endangered native species to be featured on school bags, toys, and other related merchandise.

Huitarau said the species to be promoted through the partnership are native, endemic, rare, unique, endangered, and deserve greater public recognition and protection.

“Such initiatives will inform people about these species,” Huitarau said.

In a statement, Bulkshop expressed enthusiasm about the new partnership.

“We’re excited about the journey ahead and the opportunities this collaboration brings—not just for environmental conservation, but for building stronger communities and promoting a more sustainable future,” the company said.

Bulkshop added that it believes in doing business with purpose, and this partnership is another way to give back to the people.
