This guide assists PICs to build on existing laws and institutions to protect their environments, economies and societies from plastic pollution, improve waste management and recovery, and find alternative and practical solutions to avoidable plastic use.
The global seafloor geomorphic features map has been created through collaboration between Geoscience Australia, GRID-Arendal and Conservation International.
A presentation on what's in and what's not; using the new global seafloor geomorphic map to examine the representatives of global marine protected areas
The assessment is structured in two related parts:
1. State, pressures and threats.
2. Response.
These guidelines detail the process, timeline, and steps taken to complete a State of Environment Report.
The status of species is based on evaluations made by a regional network of experts, who were trained to carry out biodiversity assessments according to the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria.
The paper argues that the mainstreaming of the conservation of the unique terrestrial, freshwater and marine biodiversity of the Pacific Islands, including the traditional knowledge and uses that Pacific Island peoples have for this biodiversity, is by far the most important precondition for ecologically, economically and culturally sustainable development in the small-island states and territories of the Pacific Ocean
Pacific Information brief
The workshop aimed to equip island countries, and countries with islands, with the tools and information needed for urgent responses to the threats associated with alien invasive species
Species have been identified as having a high, medium or low vulnerability to the threat of climate change and have been categorised on the basis of a standardised assessment process. This leaflet summarises the emerging results from an assessment of CMS Appendix I species, in order to provide guidance to policy makers at the earliest opportunity
This review was prepared by the Pacific Invasives Initiative (PII) on request from the Pacific Invasives Partnership (PIP)
Documenting the recent progress in addressing a growing threat to ocean biodiversity and ecosystems
The main impacts of myna are on native birds and on people, by feeding on food crops such as papaya and tomato, nesting in buildings, and roosting in large, noisy night-time gatherings.
