The State of the Environment Report of Kiribati, 2000 - 2002
This study was undertaken with the Government of Kiribati to examine the biodiversity benefits,feasibility and costs of removing key predators from Malden Island. If Malden could be made predator-free it could potentially provide an important seabird island and back-up to Kiritimati (Christmas Island) which is the global stronghold for Phoenix petrels (Pterodroma alba) and White-throated storm-petrels (Nesofregetta fuliginosa), and supports other important seabird and landbird populations
The status, trends and threats of Kiribati’s biodiversity are summarised in this report. It also illustrates how biodiversity conservation and management are mainstreamed across different sectors to effectively address different biodiversity conservation and management issues
An old report on an entomological survey of Christmas Island.
The objectives of the survey were to:
(1) identify plant species presently causing problems, particularly in natural and semi-natural ecosystems; (2) identify species that, even though they are not presently a major problem, could spread more widely or are known to be problem species elsewhere;
(3) confirm the absence of species that are a problem elsewhere and, if introduced to Kiribati, could be a threat there;
(4) make appropriate recommendations.
This dataset holds two reports
* draft document outlining the operation and progress of a scheme that trialed waste collection in Tarawa which involved the free distribution of green garbage bags for collection by the Tarawa council.
* An assessment of the impact of the South Tarawa Greenbag scheme on the life of the Nanikai landfill.
A pocket guide to the birds of Kiribati
A final report on the eradication of myna birds from Kiribati.
Documenting available information on the distribution, status and values of wetlands in Kiribati. However, much of this existing information needs updating.
This report highlights activities, findings and data update on numbers, challenges and recommendations that aim to improve responses on myna birds on Onotoa island.
The collections were made on the northern portion or" the island in the vicinity of the "Main Camp" and airport, as indicated on the map.
The Republic of Kiribati requested assistance from the US Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry, to conduct a survey of invasive plant species of environmental concern. The survey was carried out in August and September 2003.
A final report on the eradication of myna birds from Kiribati
Assessing the impact of the South Tarawa Greenbag scheme on the life of the Nanikai landfill.
The information generated is useful to;
Encourage adoption of the scheme by the waste removal agencies;
Refine the scheme; and
Support efforts to encourage householders to participate in the scheme.
This update retains essential still-current information from the 1993 edition, introduces data that have become available subsequently and adds several new categories of information.
This report is based on official trip made to Onotoa early this year 2014. The trip involved collecting information (updated) on sites, workshop and myna trap construction and destroying feeding and nesting areas.
This plan covers the operations to eradicate feral cats (Felis catus) from Malden Island, an uninhabited Wildlife Sanctuary within the southern Line Island group, part of the Republic of Kiribati.
