In 2019 The Sirebe Rainforest Conservation Area was declared a protected area under the 2010 protected area ACT. It protects and conserves one of the last untouched rainforest ecosystems in Choiseul Province and Solomon Islands. The protection of this unique area is the effort of the Sirebe Tribe, fulfilling their long-term commitment to safeguard their forest against large scale logging operations. The area features lowland and hill rainforest giving presence to a high variety of wildlife and plant species. The area also contributes to the conservation of the Kolombangara river ecosystem, one of the largest and most diverse systems in the Pacific Region.

Namdrik Atoll covers a total area of 1,119 hectares and consists of two wooded islands with an extensive reef flat lying between them. The atoll is unique because of its large size and also because, unlike many other coral atolls in the region, there are no navigable passes into the central lagoon. The atoll is also unusual because it supports a rich mangrove forest that is home to some 150 species of fish, including the endangered Napoleon or Humphead Wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus). It also supports breeding populations of the critically endangered Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) and the endangered Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas).

The Upper Navua Conservation Area (UNCA) encompasses the Upper Navua river gorge and approximately 58% of the entire catchment area. Lush highland rainforest surrounds the entire drainage and provides a host of botanical cures that are utilized by the indigenous peoples of the area. The forest, river and associated biodiversity provide the necessary supplies and food required for daily living and a wide range of ecosystem services to the entire catchment area including flood control for lower areas. The site is nationally and internationally exceptional in terms of both fauna and flora.

The Takitumu Conservation Area is located on the south-eastern side of inland Rarotonga and covers 155 hectares of upland forest, scrub and fernland. The conservation area has played a major role in protecting one of the world’s rarest landbirds, the Rarotongan flycatcher or Kakerori (Pomarea dimidiata) which has now been successfully transferred to the island of Atiu. The Conservation Area also provides birdwatchers with a chance to see and hear other native birdlife, including the unique i’oi (Rarotonga starling) and kukupa (fruit dove).

The Funafuti Conservation Area covers 33 square kilometres of reef, lagoon and islets on the western side of Funafuti atoll in Tuvalu. The marine environment of the conservation area includes reef, lagoon, channel and ocean; and are home to many species of fish, corals, algae and invertebrates. The islets are nesting sites for the critically endangered green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) and a breeding colony of black noddy (Anous minutus), Coconut crabs (Birgus latro) also live on the islets.

The Rock Islands Southern Lagoon (RISL) covers an area of 859 square kilometres and includes 445 limestone islands and 52 marine lakes surrounded by a lagoon with fringing reefs, patch reefs, and shallow water marine areas. Its lagoon is filled with hundreds of gem like “Rock Islands.” These limestone islands habitats are diverse and include marine lakes, caves, arches, tunnels, coves, forests, and wetlands, each with unique species. The RISL’s resilient reefs make it a critical area for the protection of biodiversity.
