Mobile organisms like seabirds can provide important nutrient flows between ecosystems but this connectivity has been interrupted by the degradation of island ecosystems. Island restoration (via invasive species eradication and the restoration of native vegetation) can reestablish seabird populations and their nutrients transfer between their foraging areas, breeding colonies and adjacent nearshore habitats.

Understanding perceived equity is key, equity subjective, context-dependent and has implications for legitimacy, cooperation and wellbeing. Since gender in combination with other social characteristics, influence how people benefit or participate in management, examining perceived fairness from an intersectional perspective is crucial.

The science is clear: the biodiversity crisis, the climate crisis and the health crisis are interdependent. Political leaders from across
the world, representing 80+ countries and the European Union, have also recognised this
connection in the Leaders’ Pledge for Nature.1 Climate change accelerates the destruction of
the natural world through extreme weather events such as droughts, flooding and wildfires.

The world’s more than 200 000 protected areas come
in many forms, on land and at sea, and occur in every
country (Bertzky et al. 2012). They are places that people
establish to conserve natural and cultural heritage and
to sustain their benefits for society. Among other values,
protected areas allow people to connect with nature for
their inspiration, education, well-being and recreation.
While protecting ecosystems that are essential for life,
they can support human livelihoods and aspirations

The decrease in fish and seafood locally from numerous different reasons. some These reasons include:
buried parts of the coast for ground- new ( field ) the fishery the psychological need of marine glide
use of fishery by- fit and experiences from storms ( Val 1990 Val 1991, Heather 2004) past.
These problems frequently arise coast of our country and are being ways to reduce fish and seafood. The decrease in fish and seafood, is not available to native protein from food supply.

Invasive species, particularly animals, are being eradicated from islands at ever more ambitious scales. In order to protect island biodiversity and the essential ecosystem functions that it provides, however, plant invasions should be given more management attention. While many advances have been made, plant eradication is inherently more difficult than animal eradication due to persistent seed banks, and eradication may not be possible for more extensive populations.

Sustainable tourism involves increasingly attracting visitors while preserving the natural
capital of a destination for future generations. To foster tourism while protecting sensitive environments,
coastal managers, tourism operators, and other decision‐makers benefit from information
about where tourists go and which aspects of the natural and built environment draw them to particular
locations. Yet this information is often lacking at management‐relevant scales and in remote
places. We tested and applied methods using social media as data on tourism in

Our current economic models are unlikely to allow us to achieve the multiple
goals the international community has set, including Agenda 21 at the Rio Earth
Summit and the Millennium Development Goals set out at the World Summit on
Sustainable Development. Nearly twenty years after Rio, we have come to realize
that a more sophisticated economic lens and a more evolved economic model
are needed if we are collectively to thrive over the coming years and decades.

The project office in Suva, Fiji, shared with another NGO, was opened at the start of the Action, and initially provided adequate facilities and space. However, following the development of the BirdLife Fiji Programme, the office was moved to new premises in mid 2007 with significant improvements to office facilities which now comply with local health and safety regulations.

This synthesis focuses on estimates of biodiversity change as projected for the 21st century by models or
extrapolations based on experiments and observed trends. The term “biodiversity” is used in a broad
sense as it is defined in the Convention on Biological Diversity to mean the abundance and distributions
of and interactions between genotypes, species, communities, ecosystems and biomes. This synthesis
pays particular attention to the interactions between biodiversity and ecosystem services and to

Th e fragile states of the Pacifi c are not the dynamic societies of Asia.1 Th ese may sound like obvious statements but the special needs of Pacifi c fragile states have not been apparent in earlier approaches to development in the Pacifi c region.
