The BioRAP Toolbox constitutes a complex series of computer programs (ANUDEM, ANUSPLIN, ANUCLIM, PATN and TARGET). This was first assembled in 1994 – 1995 by the Environment Resources Information Network (ERIN), Great Barrier Reef Management Park Authority (GBRMPA), Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies (CRES) of Australian National University and CSIRO (Division of Wildlife & Ecology).
The Conservation Needs Assessment (CNA) for Papua New Guinea was requested by the government of Papua
New Guinea and funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). The CNA was implemented by the Biodiversity Support Program, a USAID-funded consortium of World Wildlife Fund, World Resources Institute, and The Nature Conservancy, in collaboration with local and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs), museums, and academic institutions.

These notes describe the derivation of environmental domains, forest type/ domain combinations and species bioclimatic profile group distributions and their preparation for use as biodiversity surrogates for the TARGET program priority area analysis of D.Faith and C.Margules, CSIRO Division of Wildlife and Ecology. The locations to be considered are the Resource Mapping Units (RMU's) from the PNGRIS database. TARGET requires these units be described in terms of their composition of each of the biodiversity surrogate attributes.
Consists of essays which began as presentations in a panel we co-chaired at the State of the Pacific conference at The Australian National University in 2014.

This article discusses the issue of plastic waste found in the ocean, and it was published in Science Magazine in February 2015.
The resolution is 1:500,000 but It was quite useful to this day and normally used for EP Assessment.
The Resolution is 1:100,000 and is still useful as legacy data. By now most of these forest have depleted to make way for development or by the effects global warming or sea level rise etc. An overlay of recent data over this data could show some interesting land use changes. Dr Phil Shearman's report is one step in the right direction.
In order to maintain marine and coastal ecosystem services, stakeholders an d decision-makers require spatial information to enable governance for sustainable development and management of natural resources and cultural heritage. The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Resource Organisation (CSIRO) has developed a Marine and Coastal Values Framework that can be applied to natural resource, ecological and socio-cultural data to comprehensively value ecosystem features and cultural assets.
