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

The purpose in producing the SOCO is not just to understand the current status of conservation in the region but to establish a process for periodic reviews of the status of biodiversity and implementation of conservation measures in the Pacific islands region.

The IUCN categories are applicable to all types of protected areas, whether terrestrial or marine. the 2008 Guidelines for Protected Area Management Categories (2008 Guidelines) provide considerable detail on the use and application of the categories, including for marine protected area (MPAs).

This BIORAP (Biological Rapid Assessment Program) survey was undertaken as part of the process to facilitate improved management of the forests and biodiversity of Upland Savai’i. More specifically, the survey was conducted to fill key gaps in the knowledge of this globally important put poorly studied region of montane and cloud forests. This information will be used to make better informed decisions on the conservation management of the biodiversity in the area in conjunction with Savai’i land-owning communities, relevant government departments and other partners.

The combined pressures of climate change and development will not only aggravate existing challenges to the conservation of biodiversity in the Pacific, but also introduce new difficulties. There are a wide range of historical, current and planned studies that examine specific aspects of the relationship between climate change, conservation and development in the Pacific.

This book aims to help people manage coral reefs and other coastal ecosystems; especially to solve problems that flow
from nearby catchment (watershed) areas. Such catchment areas may be adjacent to the coral reef, or include areas a
long way away and outside the jurisdiction and control of the coastal manager. This book introduces ways to reduce some
of that damage through cooperation with people and industries upstream, based on the experiences of many coastal
managers around the world.

This report explores the role of traditional marine resources management in meeting both the goals of communities and those of national and international conservation strategies.

This document reviews actions taken by intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), including regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) and other relevant regional fishery bodies (RFBs), to address problematic sea turtle and seabird interactions in marine capture fisheries. Sea turtles and seabirds are subject to a number of natural and anthropogenic mortality sources, including fishing operations. As a result, all sea turtle species of known status are recognized as being endangered.

Coastal and marine ecosystems are in decline worldwide. Overfishing, runoff of nutrients and other land-based pollutants, habitat degradation and the increasing impacts
of climate change are leading to ecosystem collapse in all the major coastal and ocean regions of the world (Wilkinson 2004; Hughes et al. 2005).

Nature provides human society with a vast diversity of benefits such as food, fibres, clean water, healthy soil and carbon capture and many more. Though our well-being is totally dependent upon the continued flow of these “ecosystem services”, they are predominantly public goods with no markets and no prices, so are rarely detected by our current economic compass. As a result, biodiversity is declining, our ecosystems are being continuously degraded and we, in turn, are suffering the consequences.

In this chapter we provide a brief introduction to how protected area systems have evolved – from the historical 10% representation target to our current recognition that gap analyses are required to assess where these protected areas best safeguard, or should safeguard, our planet’s biodiversity. We summarize recent intergovernmental mandates that call for strategic assessment of the effectiveness of protected area networks, and we introduce the concept of KBAs as a tool for fulfilling these mandates.
