SPREP's direction in the Islands Ecosystems Programme reflects a
fundamental commitment to sustaining the livelihoods of island peoples today and tomorrow by supporting ecosystem management and species conservation. The Programme focuses on developing the capacities of the peoples of the Pacific islands to equip them to sustainable manage and conserve the terrestrial, coastal and marine ecosystems of their islands. The programme also focuses efforts to protect priority threatened species, and to protect Pacific island countries and terrttories (PICTs) from
invasive alien species and living modified organisms (LMOs). In summary, SPREP's core business under this programme is to address the issues of ecosystem conservation, the sustainable management of natural resources and the protection of priority threatened species from the threats of human-induced impacts, invasive species and living modified organisms. These issues require action at the community, national,regional and international levels.Available electronicallyCall Number: 363.7099 SEC (EL)Physical Description: 44 p. ; 29 cm
