CBD GUIDELINES ON BIODIVERSITY AND TOURISM DEVELOPMENT 2004. International guidelines for activities related to sustainable tourism development in vulnerable terrestrial, marine and coastal ecosystems and habitats of major importance for biological diversity and protected areas, including fragile riparian and mountain ecosystems
CBD GUIDELINES The Ecosystem Approach 2004. The ecosystem approach is based on the application of appropriate scientific methodologies focused on levels of biological organization, which encompass
the essential structure, processes, functions and interactions among organisms and their environment. It also recognizes that humans, with their cultural diversity, are an integral component of many ecosystems. The ecosystem approach is essential in guiding action under the various programmes of work of the

This summary of all current literature on violence against women in the pacific region, is designed to give practitioners a concise and comprehensive overview of current knowledge and analysis. The evidence presented in this first edition presents a compelling case for more action and investment in preventing and responding to violence against women. It is intended to inform leaders, legislators, policy makers and other key decision makers in government and programme designers in government and civil society.
The 43rd edition, the Key Indicators for Asia and the Pacific 2012 (Key Indicators 2012) continues to provide a set of comprehensive social, economic, financial, environmental, and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) indicator series for the 48 regional members. The Key Indicators provides a timely and reliable source of data and information for policy makers, development practitioners, government officials, researchers, students, and the general public. For the second year, the Framework of Inclusive Growth Indicators supplements the main Key Indicators publication.
This
paper presents the findings from the first comprehensive study of pooling initiatives in the
Pacific. It draws on a review of the literature pertaining to all 20 pooling initiatives identified in
the region, and on interviews of stakeholders involved in many of those initiatives. The study
finds that experience with pooling among Pacific SIDS has not met the optimistic expectations
of advocates, including development partners. This is the result of the challenges inherent in
Papers, case studies, research results and conversations about rapid urbanisation in the Pacific and the hopes, experiences and adjustments people make to living in town. Publication of this issue was supported by the State, Society and Governance in Melanesia Program (SSGM) at the Australian National University. SSGM is the leading international centre for applied multidisciplinary research and analysis concerning contemporary state, society and governance issues in Melanesia and the broader Pacific.
This brochure drew significantly from a technical publication by Deda et al. (submitted for publication to Natural Resources Forum), the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment report on Island Systems by Wong et al. 2005, the report of the Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group on Island Biodiversity, which met in Tenerife in 2004 and the draft programme of work on island biodiversity adopted by the Subsidiary Body for Scientifc, Technical and Technological Advice (SBSTTA) at its tenth meeting in 2005
It is a one page poster which reflects the outcomes of the 2007 Alotau conference and provides principles and critical components to deliver nature conservation in the pacific.
In contrast to the properly grim outlook of just a few decades ago, these are pretty good times for sea turtles. In a 2017 paper titled “Global Sea Turtle Conservation Successes,” Antonio Mazaris and colleagues reported that published estimates of sea turtle populations tend to be increasing rather than decreasing globally. We have also seen the status of some species improving in recent Red List assessments led by the IUCN-SSC Marine Turtle Specialist Group, with both the leatherback and loggerhead improving to vulnerable globally (from critically endangered and endangered, respectively).
