Following a workshop in March to collect and collate data for enhancing spatial analysis in the Solomon Islands under the Ensuring Resilient Ecosystems and Representative Protected Areas (EREPA) project, a successful second workshop to validate the data was held with Solomon Islands’ key na
Today, in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea (PNG), Indigenous landowners of the Inaugl tribe have joined their neighbours in the Bismarck Forest Corridor to commit to legally protecting 12,241 hectares (46.3 square miles) of forest under a conservation deed.
The northern government is discussing with landowners of the Kokoda track the setting up of a conservation and protected area nature reserve, the Kokoda Track is owned by traditional resource custodians and a place of natural beauty which has rare biodiversity, rich cultural and military heritage
Protecting 30% of the world's land and sea outweigh the costs by a ratio of 5 to 1, according to a new report.
In the accelerated push towards conserving 30% of the Earth's land and water by 2030, asking who, as well as what, is on the map must be at the heart of the conversation.
In a moment of true significance, the District of ‘Nadogo’, aptly named ‘The Mangrove’ in indigenous Fijian, commemorated this year’s World Mangrove Day with an extraordinary milestone—the formal declaration of its inaugural permanent community island protected area.
Victor Bonito takes the concept of working from home to new levels. The marine scientist's house overlooks his lab: the beautiful turquoise-blue waters of Fiji's Coral Coast.
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.
A new international study has found that amphibians and reptiles inhabiting the world's nature reserves, or Protected Areas (PAs), will be better protected against climate change than species found outside these areas, but are still likely to be harmed.
By 2030, if the "30 by 30" initiative supported by more than 100 countries is successful, 30% of our land and ocean ecosystems will be designated protected areas meant to safeguard biodiversity and help limit the impacts of climate change.
