Community-based conservation can support livelihoods and biodiversity while reinforcing local and indigenous values, cultures and institutions. Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 15 p.
The Vunausi Environment Conservation Organization (VECO) has addressed one of the biggest environmental concerns for surrounding communities on the Tangoa mainland with its coastal rehabilitation project.
The sustainability of conservation area projects presently supported by the South Pacific
Biodiversity Conservation Programme is a major concern as the programme winds down
to its termination in December 2001. The development and implementation of transition
strategies is currently preoccupying the Programme. This initiative seeks to ensure a
smooth transition for each project to the post-SPBCP era. The challenge is to determine
the most effective ways of using remaining SPBCP resources to ensure viable and
sustainable conservation area projects.
