The key highlights of this month's issue include: Using blue economy to improve ocean health for sustainable development; Measuring Progress: Environment and the SDGs; Recommendations for strengthening the Post-2020 GBF; Empower customs officials to combat illegal wildlife trade; averting biodiversity crisis; Industry involvement in sound management of chemicals and waste; Boost e-waste collection and recycling in East Africa; Phasing out lead from paint manufacturing; celebrating Cartagena convention; CARICOM launches second biodiversity webinar series; Preparing Easter Europe and Latin Am
Protected areas (PAs) are a cornerstone of global conservation and central to international
plans to minimize global extinctions. During the coming century, global ecosystem
destruction and fragmentation associated with increased human population and
economic activity could make the long-term survival of most terrestrial vertebrates even
more dependent on PAs.

The Invasive Species Battler series has been developed to share what we have learned about common invasive species issues in the region. They are not intended to cover each issue in depth but to provide information and case-studies that can assist you to make a decision about what to do next or where to go for further information.

Oceania is geographically one of IUCNs largest regional programmes, covering much of the central and south west Pacific Ocean as well as Australia and New Zealand. The Pacific Islands cover almost 15% of the worlds ocean surface. The area is characterized by a high degree of ecosystem and species diversity, as well as a high level of endemicity (often over 90% for particular groups) on many of the Pacific Islands. Increasing awareness about the importance of biodiversity and the threats to these species is critically important to the survival of all species on Earth.
Reversing ecosystem degradation and halting global biodiversity loss due to climate change and other anthropogenic drivers are essential for socioeconomic development and human wellbeing, as well as for advancing global sustainability.
