Seabird Population Monitoring, Pacific BioScapes Programme - Regional Activity
The Pacific BioScapes Programme is supporting capacity in the Pacific to determine that the presence and populations of key seabird biodiversity is enhanced as envisaged in the Pacific Islands Regional Marine Species Programme 2022-2026 Seabird Action Plan.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1 p.
Monitoring Coastal Ecosystems, Pacific BioScapes Programme - Tonga
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.
Micronesia Ecosystem Score Cards, Pacific BioScapes Programme - Regional Activity
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.
Participatory monitoring drives biodiversity knowledge in global protected areas
Protected areas are central in strategies to conserve biodiversity. Effective area-based conservation relies on biodiversity data, but the current biodiversity knowledge base is insufficient and limited by geographic and taxonomic biases. Public participation in biodiversity monitoring such as via community-based monitoring or citizen science increases data collection but also contributes to replicating these biases or introducing new ones.
FINAL REPORT - Seabird Survey of Aleipata Offshore Islands, Samoa. 24-26 October 2022
The Aleipata group of offshore islands have been identified as one of eight Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) in Samoa. They are located at the south-eastern end of Upolu Island at 14o3’447.28”S, 171o25’23.84”W (Nu’utele) and 14o4’22.11”S and 171o24’36.17”W (Nu’ulua) offshore. This project updates population estimates and establish baseline data and information on breeding seabirds of the Aleipata offshore islands and investigate the feasibility of future tracking studies of some species.
The introduction of newly established National Forestry Monitoring System (NFSM) will help track and report changes in Samoa’s lush green tropical forests...The NFMS will enable Samoa to track and report changes in forest cover and forest carbon stocks, contributing to sustainable forest manageme
This week, the Palau International Coral Reef Center (PICRC) is hosting the Science & Monitoring Strategy Development Workshop with experts from around the world to further develop the science and monitoring strategy for the Palau National Marine Sanctuary (PNMS).
