Preparations are underway on Niulakita Island, Tuvalu, for an important conservation initiative to remove invasive rats and restore the island’s natural ecosystems and food resources. The project is being led by the Tuvalu Department of Environment with support from the Pacific Regional Invasive Species Management Support Service (PRISMSS) through the Predator Free Pacific (PFP) programme, led by technical partners, Island Conservation.
The PFP is one of six invasive species management programmes, part of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP) led PRISMSS Restoring Island Resilience project, funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the United Kingdom International Development.
