The Pacific BioScapes Programme aims to assist implementation of the Protected Areas Network Policy Framework in the Federated States of Micronesia through supporting the operations of the Protected Areas Network at national and state levels. This will include management, community protected areas support, capacity building, human resources, planning and meetings of the technical committee and management team.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

The Pacific BioScapes Programme aims to strengthen the sustainable use of marine and coastal resources through the use of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) to achieve key ecological, economic, cultural and social objectives. Under the Programme, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) will work closely with the Government of the Cook Islands to support marine conservation initiatives and sustainable planning activities.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.

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 application of remote sensing methods to detect invasive plant species was heavily reliant on species ecology, extent of invasion and available geospatial and remotely sensed image data. Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 19 p.

Globally and locally, conservationists and scientists work to inform policy makers to help recovery of endangered sea turtle populations. In Fiji, in the South Pacific, sea turtles are protected by the national legislation because of their conservation status, and are also a customary iTaukei resource.

This paper identifies the Dasgupta Review’s key points about the role of protected areas (PAs) in conserving nature. Using these factors as a foundation, this paper explores how economists can conduct analyses that improve PA decisions and promote both biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service provision. People’s interactions with PAs should be considered when making design, management, and restrictions decisions about PAs because those interactions are critical to determining the threats to biodiversity within PAs and the benefits produced by PAs.

The focus on biodieversity and conservation is recognition of protecting and conserving biodiversity and sustainably managing living natural resources are fundamental to sustainable development.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 25 p.
