The Protected Area Forum's (PAF) outcome is that the forum will enable protected area practitioners, researchers, academics, private sector, potential donors and local communities who manage or support protected areas in PNG, to share their experiences, insights and any lessons learnt in relation to factors impacting protected areas. It will identify and formulate national priorities for effective protected area management in the country. The results of the forum will contribute to the implementation of the Protected Area Policy.

The Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES) is a field operation which consists of collecting information in the households based on face to face interview.

The questions asked to the households are related to living standard conditions, expenditures, purchases, incomes.... It is the only survey conducted at a national level which deals with households habits in terms of expenditure and income. As the private and public sector, households represent an economic and social actor of the country which needed to be known.

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

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a primary tool for the stewardship, conservation, and restoration
of marine ecosystems, yet 69% of global MPAs are only partially protected (i.e., are open to some form of fishing).
Although fully protected areas have well-documented outcomes, including increased fish diversity and biomass,
the effectiveness of partially protected areas is contested. Partially protected areas may provide benefits in some
contexts and may be warranted for social reasons, yet social outcomes often depend on MPAs achieving their

Tuvalu signed the Convention on Biological Diversity in 1992 and rarified it in 2002. With the increasing effects of climate change, there is growing recognition on the need for education on understanding the significance of the existing biodiversity in our ecosystem.

Substantial efforts and investments are being made to increase the scale and improve the effectiveness of marine conservation globally. Though it is mandated by international law and central to conservation policy, less attention has been given to how to operationalize social equity in and through the pursuit of marine conservation. In this article, we aim to bring greater attention to this topic through reviewing how social
equity can be better integrated in marine conservation policy and practice. Advancing

Most of the homes are built with imported timber and concrete with roofs made out of corrugated tin. Most of the homes are of basic design with an average 2.2 rooms. Majority of the
homes surveyed appeared to be in very poor condition. About half the households have common household appliances, such as fans, refrigerators, kerosene stoves and radios, but it is not
indicative of affluence. Many still continue to cook outdoors using fire pits and wash clothes in basins.

The demonstration projects are to show that there are viable, low cost alternatives that can be implementedat the community levelfor the management

Highlights of the community workshop included stakeholder engagement (facilitation, stakeholder participation and communicating with stakeholders); identification of resource
management problems (stakeholder analysis, participatory problem analysis); learning the social context of resource management
problems (participatory impact assessment, socio-economic baseline assessments, methods, analysis of information); and project planning (identifying and selecting solutions, impact
assessment, considering options, project mapping).
