The purpose in producing the SOCO is not just to understand the current status of conservation in the region but to establish a process for periodic reviews of the status of biodiversity and implementation of conservation measures in the Pacific islands region.
This year, nations of the world are expected to set ambitious new targets for protecting biodiversity. In much of the world, achieving spatial targets will require conservation of areas under private ownership. Throughout 2021 IUCN is hosting the Vital Sites webinar series which is rich in expert insights and discussions across all of the many areas of expertise in our global network. All seminars are recorded. In June the series explored the potential for privately protected areas (PPAs).Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 11 p.

The loss of nature is global ecological and economic catastrophe. As we have seen with the recent surge of hurricanes and typhoons, when nature's services we've long taken for granted begin to fall, it is poor communities that suffer most. Further, countless of people depend on the marine environment for their livelihoods. Thus addressing the decline of the health of our ocean should be a priority for all.
This session will bring together representatives from communities, governments and civil society to discuss their viewpoints, experiences and insights on defining conservation in the Pacific context, and what this means to a range of Indigenous Pacific People. Through a "talanoa" style panel discussion. The panel will share their thoughts and recommendations to strengthen local and indigenous-led conservation programming in the PacificCall Number: [EL]Physical Description: 53:22
The Pacific region is by far the largest in terms of surface and is characterized by coral reefs found only around oceanic islands making the region unique. The Pacific region includes more than 25,000 islands. The tropical Pacific region supports approximately 27% (about 66,000 km2) of the total global area of coral reefs. Coral reefs are in integral part of the Pacific culture and provide crucial food resources (25-100% of dietary protein) among many other socio-economic benefitsCall Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1:16:36
The role of the youth as "custodians of the future" has been emphasised repeatedly at international conferences related to sustainable development, climate change and environment. Since various UN agencies have been supporting youth participation to ensure the voice of the youth present when international agendas are set. Their participation if motivated based on the facts that half of the world's population is under 30, decision taken today directly affect the lives of youth and youth are the future decision makers.
This session will explore three levels of governance: regional, national and interinstitutional. Through concrete examples at each level, the speakers will describe how governance is organized today in the region at different scales, how enforcement is ensured, and what issues are encountered at every level. Ideally, the outcomes of the session should constitute a good base to build guidelines useful to improve the efficiency to stakeholders in charge of nature conservation and protected areas.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 1:04:13
This session will analyze participation in nature conservation in the region through a range of lenses related to good governance (including equity, transparency, and accountability), respect for and incorporation of traditional knowledge, and the extent to which participation can be more effective if people achieve tangible benefits to livelihoods, well-being, and sustainable development.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 59:32
