Share Pacific invasive species data using the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

The “Invasive Species Battler” series has been developed to share what we have learned about common invasive species issues in the region. They are not intended to cover each issue in depth but to provide information and case-studies that can assist you to make a decision about what to do next or where to go for further information.SPREP publication| available onlineCall Number: [EL]ISBN/ISSN: 978-982-04-0785-5,978-982-04-0786-2Physical Description: 28 p

Evaluating Ecosystem-Based Adaptation For Disaster Risk Reduction In Fiji

Natural disasters such as hurricanes, cyclones, and tropical depressions cause average annual direct losses of US$284 million in the Pacific. With a combined population of fewer than 10 million people, annual losses are the highest in the world on a per-capita basis. Extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall are closely linked to climate change, suggesting that Pacific Island nations face increasing risk of disasters such as flooding and landslides. Proactive management through infrastructure development, social solutions, and/or ecosystem-based adaptation can mitigate these risks.
