Protected areas (PAs) are a cornerstone of global conservation and central to international
plans to minimize global extinctions. During the coming century, global ecosystem
destruction and fragmentation associated with increased human population and
economic activity could make the long-term survival of most terrestrial vertebrates even
more dependent on PAs.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 8 p.

To provide a doorway through which Pacific islands protected area practitioners can share expertise and benefit from opportunities. To provide up-to-date PA coverage data relevant information and management tools to support protected area decision making and planning. Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 13 p.

Accelerating ecosystem degradation has spurred proposals ti vastly expand the extent of protected areas (PCs), potentially affecting the livelihoods and well-being of indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) worldwide.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 13 p.

Over a million species face extinction highlighting the urgent need for conservation policies that maximize the protection of biodiversity to sustain its manifold contributions to people's lives. Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 12 p.

For successful conservation of biodiversity, it is vital to know whether protected areas in increasingly fragmented landscapes effectively safeguard species. However, how large habitat fragments must be, and what level of protection is required to sustain species, remains poorly known.Call Number: [EL]Physical Description: 9 p.

List of conservation areas with area protected and management plan status within the RMI as of September 24, 2020. 

There are 14 terrestrial PAs, which total at least 1407.2 hectares (five PAs are uncalculated), or about six per cent of the Cook Islands’ total 240 km2 land mass. Terrestrial PA are concentrated in a few locations. Three of the 15 islands in Cook Islands are wildlife reserves (Suwarrow, Takutea and Manuae), almost 40% of the terrestrial PAs are represented by four motu on Pukapuka, and three of Rarotonga’s four PAs make up 36% of total terrestrial PAs.

This Policy on Protected Areas (the Policy) has been developed by the Government of Papua New Guinea to support the development and management of a National Protected Area Network in Papua New Guinea (PNG). It will guide communities, organizations and agencies to harmonise their efforts in a structured and logical approach to the sustainability of existing and the development of new protected areas. The Policy offers a

Le nouveau Cadre du Pacifique insulaire 2021-2025 pour la conservation de la nature et les aires protégées a été approuvé lors de la Conférence et, par la suite, lors de la 30e Conférence du PROE en 2021, par 26 États et territoires Membres. Il rend compte de l’urgence d’une action porteuse de transformations face à l’accélération de nombreuses menaces, aussi bien confirmées qu’émergentes, auxquelles sont confrontées la nature et les populations du PacifiqueCall Number: [EL]Physical Description: 63 p. 29 cm

This new Pacific islands framework for nature conservation and protected areas 2021-2025 was endorsed during the conference and subsequently at the 30th SPREP Meeting by 26 members countries and territories in 2021. It reflects the urgent need for transformative action in response to the multiple accelerating threats, both established and emerging, that are faced by nature and people in the Pacific.Call Number: [EL],333.72099 PACISBN/ISSN: 978-982-04-1007-7,978-982-04-1006-0Physical Description: 61 p. 29 cm.
