Wildlife watching activities play a significant and growing part in the tourism industry, and create direct and indirect economic benefits for many countries and communities - especially amongst developing countries. This form of tourism can certainly make important contributions to conservation by raising awareness of the animals observed and their habitats, by creating revenues for conservation and by creating jobs for local communities.

Physical Description: 1p. : ill, (col.)

The Vatu-i-Ra Seascape is an area of unique ecological value located between Fiji’s two main islands incorporating the four provinces of Bua, Ra, Lomaiviti, and Tailevu, and their associated traditional fishing grounds and offshore channels.

Central Africa supports an incredible biodiversity, and its inland waters are no exception. The Congo River has the highest species diversity of any freshwater system in Africa, and is second in species richness globally, after the Amazon. This diversity provides benefits to humans both directly, such as through livelihoods from fisheries, and indirectly through services such as the purification of water for drinking.

The marine environment is a vital resource for Fiji's tourism, yet industry and community efforts to conserve and improve it have largely gone unrecognised, and are under-utilised in Fiji's tourism

The management plan describes the priority strategies for the Ijuw/Anabar wetlands Proposed Conservation area (PCA) that will best maintain and improve the key conservation values in this area by reducing the impact of threats, including from climate change.
