This report addresses risks to extinction for sea turtle populations in the Pacific, specifically for countries and
island territories within the SPREP region. The extinction risk analysis has been made
based on modeled scenarios given much of the region suffers from data uncertainty in terms of biological
attributes of sea turtle populations.Call Number: [EL]ISBN/ISSN: 978-982-04-1455-6Physical Description: 58 p. ; 29 cm.
In the face of growing pressures on the marine environment, evidence-based decision making in the realm of marine conservation policies is of utmost importance. Through their boundary work, comprising the transfer of knowledge through the production of boundary objects and the facilitation of knowledge exchange, boundary organisations stand out as highly promising in bridging the gap between science and policymaking.

1. Overview & Concerns
A regional report titled “Poisoned Paradise” examines the environmental consequences of pesticide use across South Pacific islands, highlighting the ecological risks of toxic chemicals in agriculture and disease control .
2. Tonga – Tongan Megapode (“Malau”)
The report raises concerns about pesticide exposure in Tonga’s fragile ecosystems, including impacts on unique species like the endangered Tongan megapode (Megapodius pritchardii).
PNG government has released its new forestry guidelines, with and intention to reform the forestry industry operating in the country. This process began with the bar netting quarry in the late 80s portrayed part of the industry as out of control. In 1991 a new forestry act began changing the way timber were being harvested. The computing courses allow weather offices to analyse and advice on the weather of their own countries. Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 23:34

A rap song about protecting our coral reefs from pollution and explosive fishing methods. Coral reefs gives us life and protect us.
Addressing unsustainable resource use and environmental degr adation is a central challenge for people of the Pacific. Many programs, past and present, have grappled with such issues as nature conservation, climate change, sustainable use of marine and land based resources, and waste management. Some crucial lessons have been emerged from this recent history. Firstly, natural resource management (NRM) programs in the Pacific Islands (and elsewhere) generally have a much greater chance of
The goal of this manual is to encourage and support seabird conservation and research across the region, particularly in areas where this work is just starting out. We consider all of the proven methods and survey types that are currently in use across the region, to provide readers with the tools required to run successful seabird survey and monitoring programmes. To further illustrate how successful projects can be undertaken, real world case studies are presented – written by experts currently working in the field.
