ProjectStrengthening Biodiversity Conservation and Reducing Forest and Land Degradation in Fiji, Samoa, Vanuatu and Niue - GCP/RAS/262/GFF 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The four Pacific Island Countries of Fiji, Samoa, Vanuatu and Niue account for about 70 percent of the land area of the Polynesia Micronesia biodiversity hotspot, where species endemism is particularly high and one third to one half of species are currently threatened with extinction. Conservation whether in formally protected areas (PAs) or the wider production landscape is extremely weak. The project was developed to reverse the situation and improve biodiversity conservation in the four countries. Its development objective was to enhance the sustainable livelihoods of local communities living in and around PAs, while its global environmental objective was to strengthen biodiversity conservation and reduce forest and land degradation. The project was designed with six technical components to overcome identified weaknesses and barriers. Principally, the focus of the project was to conserve, protect and manage Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) identified by the respective governments concerned. -
