The Vatu-i-Ra Seascape is an area of unique ecological value located between Fiji’s two main islands incorporating the four provinces of Bua, Ra, Lomaiviti, and Tailevu, and their associated traditional fishing grounds and offshore channels.

Central Africa supports an incredible biodiversity, and its inland waters are no exception. The Congo River has the highest species diversity of any freshwater system in Africa, and is second in species richness globally, after the Amazon. This diversity provides benefits to humans both directly, such as through livelihoods from fisheries, and indirectly through services such as the purification of water for drinking.

The marine environment is a vital resource for Fiji's tourism, yet industry and community efforts to conserve and improve it have largely gone unrecognised, and are under-utilised in Fiji's tourism

The management plan describes the priority strategies for the Ijuw/Anabar wetlands Proposed Conservation area (PCA) that will best maintain and improve the key conservation values in this area by reducing the impact of threats, including from climate change.

As the first decade of the 21st century draws to a close, most countries of the world have established protected areas. Virtually all such areas enjoy some form of legal protection. Growth in protected areas has continued to trend upward since the 1960s, when data showed only about 1.5 per cent of the earth’s surface covered. Today, more than 12 per cent of the earth’s surface is part of some type of formal protected area But scientific assessments indicate that biodiversity and ecosystem integrity are continuing to decline at an accelerating rate.

In 2018, the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) adopted a decision on protected areas and other

This year, nations of the world are expected to set ambitious new targets for protecting biodiversity. In much of the world, achieving spatial targets will require conservation of areas under private ownership. Throughout 2021 IUCN is hosting the Vital Sites webinar series which is rich in expert insights and discussions across all of the many areas of expertise in our global network. All seminars are recorded. In June the series explored the potential for privately protected areas (PPAs).

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) has been the major source of financial and technical support for
countries seeking to conserve their biodiversity and use their biological resources in a sustain- able
manner. Since 1991, the GEF has, in collaboration with its Implementing Agencies—notably the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the World Bank—provided $4.8 billion in grants and
mobilized an additional $17.9 billion in cofinancing from public, multilateral, and private sources to 1,167
