THE Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) and Conservation International (CI) have signed a five-year agreement aimed at strengthening nature conservation and climate resilience across the Pacific. The memorandum of understanding was signed during the 55th Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting in Palau by SPREP Director-General Sefanaia Nawadra and Conservation International chief executive Dr Sebastian Troëng. It combines SPREP’s regional mandate across 26 Pacific island countries and territories with CI’s expertise in biodiversity conservation, science, sustainable finance and locally led conservation.
