This study describes the biodiversity values of Malden Island, and assesses the potential benefits, feasibility and costs of removing key invasive species.
The objectives of the survey were to:
(1) identify plant species presently causing problems, particularly in natural and semi-natural ecosystems; (2) identify species that, even though they are not presently a major problem, could spread more widely or are known to be problem species elsewhere;
(3) confirm the absence of species that are a problem elsewhere and, if introduced to Kiribati, could be a threat there;
(4) make appropriate recommendations.
A final report on the eradication of myna birds from Kiribati.
These guidelines provide a framework for bird species monitoring and invasive species surveillance at Kiritimati.
A strategy for the management of invasive species and address related issues in Kiribati as a whole.
