The Pacific BioScapes Programme aims to strengthen the sustainable use of marine and coastal biodiversity through effective Invasive Species Management in Kiribati. BirdLife International and EcoOceania will work closely with the WildLife Conservation Unit (WCU) of the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Agriculture Development (MELAD) to manage invasive species on two islets on Kiritimati Atoll.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme aims to strengthen the sustainable use of marine and coastal resources in Kiribati through the use of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) to achieve key ecological, economic, cultural and social objectives. This approach acknowledges the integration of atoll ecosystems with those offshore and will assist the government of Kiribati to develop atoll-level bioregional maps. These maps will support the management of both terrestrial and marine species habitats.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme is providing support to the Inform Environmental Data Portal to strengthen countries’ capacity for environmental reporting and decision‐making and facilitate reporting for the the CBD Post‐2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme is providing assistance to establish electronic eCITES automated support for trade permitting and reporting systems to support compliance for the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) in the Pacific. CITES is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten the survival of the species.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme is supporting local community monitoring of coastal ecosystem resilience on the islands of Maninita, Taula, Fangasito, Fonua’one’one, Mu’omu’a and Fua’amotu in the Vava’u group. This aims to assess the benefits for biodiversity that occur following the eradication of invasive species.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme is providing support to produce the Samoa National Marine Sanctuary Management Plan (SNMSMP) which will provide guidance for government and the public to implement existing regulations which established the sanctuary to protect whales, dolphins, sharks, rays and turtles.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme is strengthening regional and national decision-making processes for sustainable management and use of coastal and marine biodiversity by improving the use of information and communication technologies for data management and analysis. Under BioScapes, The Nature Conservancy is working directly with governments in the Marshall Islands, Kosrae, Pohnpei, Chuuk, Yap and Palau.

The rapid expansion of kava farms, and the increase in market value for the plant, has resulted in an increased clearing of native forests in key growing zones. Cleared cultivation areas are now penetrating some of the most well preserved native forests of the Pacific region. To what extent this is currently impacting on biodiversity and Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) is not yet fully known, especially in Fiji and Vanuatu.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme aims to support the Pacific Islands Roundtable for Nature Conservation (PIRT), a network of inter-governmental, non-governmental, and donor agencies which are committed to assisting governments and civil society in our Pacific Islands in their efforts to sustainably manage and conserve the region's biodiversity.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1p.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme aims to identify and strengthen the management of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) in the Pacific region. These areas are 'sites contributing significantly to the global persistence of biodiversity’, in terrestrial, freshwater and marine ecosystems. The KBA identification process requires a highly inclusive, consultative, and bottom-up, approach focused on the national level when proposing sites to communities.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.
