The Vatthe Conservation area was established in 1994 and is located in Big Bay, on the Northern coast of Santo, the largest island in Vanuatu. Covering an area of 2,720 hectares. the Conservation Area is believed to contain the only extensive alluvial and limestone forest left in all of Vanuatu. Furthermore, the Conservation Area significant in terms of it being the largest area in Vanuatu established for in-situ conservation of a wide diversity of flora and fauna including 6 endemic species of birds, 3 endemic freshwater species, 1 endemic flying fox, 3 endemic species of reptiles and two internationally threatened bird species. 

Nooto-North Tarawa contains relatively pristine and healthy representative coastal wetland ecosystems, including a wide range of coastal habitats such as lagoons, coral reefs, intertidal mudflats, and mangroves that support a high biodiversity and are resource rich, with a wide variety of finfish, turtles, crustaceans, seaweed and other plants. It is one of the few areas where mangroves are found in the whole of Kiribati, with stands of mangrove dominated by a single species, Rhizophora stylosa.

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 Pacific Islands Protected Area Portal (PIPAP) is currently supported through assistance from the Biodiversity and Protected Areas Management (BIOPAMA) programme, an initiative of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) financed by the European Union’s 11th European Development Fund.  BIOPAMA is jointly implemented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission (EC-JRC). In the Pacific region, BIOPAMA is implemented by IUCN’s Oceania Regional Office (IUCN ORO) in partnership with the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP).

The Tonda Wildlife Management Area (WMA) is the largest protected area in Papua New Guinea. It is located in the south-western corner of the Western Province and is contiguous with Wasur National Park of Indonesia. It includes tidal river reaches, mangrove areas, swamps, grassland, savanna woodlands and patches of monsoon forest. It is an important wetland for over 250 species of resident and migratory waterbirds. Most of the World's population of little curlew (Numenius minutus) stage on the plains during migration. The area also provides habitat for birds-of-paradise and brolga (Antigone rubicunda).
