This flipchart is designed to help communities learn more about invasive species in their local area and how to control the spread of invasive species. The objectives of the flip chart are to:
• Increase awareness and knowledge about invasive species and the most common invasive species in Vanuatu.
• Develop community knowledge of the major impacts of invasive species on the natural environment and communities, with a focus on Big Leaf Rope (Merremia peltata).
• Develop skills in managing invasive species using integrated methods.

The Invasive species in Vanuatu resources aim to limit the spread and ecological impact of invasive plant and animal species in the islands of Vanuatu.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 42 p.

On May 24, 2023, Typhoon Mawar, one of the strongest Northern Hemisphere tropical cyclones ever recorded in the month of May and the strongest globally in 2023, hit the U.S. Territory of Guam in the Western Pacific. With winds up to 145 mph, the category 4-equivalent typhoon was the strongest storm to affect the island in over two decades. After enduring 15 hours of destructive winds and torrential rain, residents found an island littered with defoliated and uprooted trees, toppled signs and damaged buildings, and flood waters that were waist-deep in low-lying areas.
