Rapid Biodiversity Assessment (BIORAP) of Republic of Nauru

The purpose of the Nauru BIORAP was to improve the state of knowledge of marine and terrestrial ecosystems, to provide a scientific basis for the conservation and management of nationally, regionally and globally important ecosystems and species. A particular focus was to identify areas of conservation value and to investigate opportunities for establishing marine and terrestrial protected areas. A fundamental principle is that decision-making should rest with resource owners and communities. The BIORAP provided opportunities for community members and Government staff to participate and receive training from the expert team.|Available onlineCall Number: 333.959685 McK, [EL]ISBN/ISSN: 978-982-04-0516-5,978-982-04-0515-8Physical Description: 240p. : ill.
