The Niue Government is in receipt of its first National Development
Plan (NNDP 1980-1985) which contains chapters on social development
(4 1Macroplan') and social services (Chapters 19 to 23); comprehen-
sive physical or regional plans for land and coastal resource use
are hampered mainly due to the existing tenure system.

All islands in the TTPI have a tropical marine climate charac-
terized by uniform air pressure, temperature and humidity.
Average monthly temperatures range from 79° to 83°F. Usually
there is a greater range in daily temperatures (approximately
10°} than in seasonal average temperatures. Relative humidity
is usually above 75%, but ranges from 55 to 100%. Seasonal
changes in wind direction and strength and in precipitation
are the main variables in climate features. Most of the TT lies

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

Critical issues for all meetings will be the global effort in the remaining 18 months to achieve the 2020 Aichi Targets of the CBD. Target 11 is of particular importance to WCPA and indeed we would argue it is the fundamental goal to achieve biodiversity and underpins many other goals.

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

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) defines its "strategy for the integrated management of land, water and living resources that promotes conservation and sus-
tainable use in an equitable way" as the Ecosystem Approach to management. This use incorporates the concept of an area used by humans as well as one containing plants and animals in a recognisable configuration.

During the period February 13 to 20, 1973, a visit was made to Canton Island for the purpose of conducting a preliminary survey of marine turtle nesting populations. Although previous investigators have described the sea birds (Buddle, 1938; Murphy G., 1954), insects (Van Zwaluwenburg, 1943, 1955), and vegetation (Hatheway, 1955), very little is known about the marine environment of Canton or the other seven atolls (Enderbury, Birnie, Phoenix, Sydney, Hull, Gardner and McKean) which comprise the Phoenix group.

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.

edition of Global Biodiversity Outlook (GBO-3). This major new assessment of the current state of
biodiversity and the implications of its continued loss for human well-being was produced by the

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
