There are 14 terrestrial PAs, which total at least 1407.2 hectares (five PAs are uncalculated), or about six per cent of the Cook Islands’ total 240 km2 land mass. Terrestrial PA are concentrated in a few locations. Three of the 15 islands in Cook Islands are wildlife reserves (Suwarrow, Takutea and Manuae), almost 40% of the terrestrial PAs are represented by four motu on Pukapuka, and three of Rarotonga’s four PAs make up 36% of total terrestrial PAs.

he total economic value of the effects caused by Tropical Cyclone Pam was estimated to be approximately VT 48.6 billion (US$449.4 million). Of this, VT 29.3 billion (US$270.9 million) is attributable to damage, and VT 19.3 billion (US$178.5 million) is attributable to loss. This is equivalent to 64.1% of the gross domestic product (GDP) in Vanuatu, giving an indication of the scale of impact. Because of data limitations, however, it is likely that these figures underestimate the total impact.

For the purpose of this PDNA, the agricultural sector is defined to include the crops, livestock, fishery, and forestry subsectors

Commerce and industry comprises close to 40% of GDP and is therefore a key sector for Vanuatu. Tropical Cyclone Pam damaged the sector’s buildings and inputs for production, and it continued to affect the sector through increased costs of inputs and reduced activity in the economy. It is important to note that the figures reported are likely to be underestimated due to the amount of data available for inclusion within this PDNA, which was prepared in a short time frame.
